I struggled half a day with errorcodes coming from the ST7 Visual Programmer telling me having an invalid combination.

The cause was that the software could'nt communicate with the LPT port 1 unless it resides at 3F8 hex (in drivers resources).

What if I need to use a USB to parallell or any remote LPT port at all. All ''modern'' software can handle this...

Hello AnWi,

Since version 1.9.2 of STVP7 (released in April 2004), LPT2 is also supported. You should have a really old version, shouldn't you ?

You are right, STVP7 doesn't offer the same features as a modem does but unfortunately it is not so widely distributed.

Download the last version of STVP in ''Softwaree release'' or search for STVP7 on this site.

Hoping you will successfully work with this version.

Best regards

LB

I run 1.9.3 (should be late enough)

The problem is not related to LPT1 or LPT2 but the fact that the software adresses the port by its location instead of the logical device LPT.

I made a typing error above. The address should be 0x378 (not 0x3F8 as I wrote).
