Loading Software Through the Parallel Port

This is a legacy method to load software, and should only be used in situations where the CF method cannot be used.

A host PC with an EPP 1.9 capable parallel port is required to successfully load new software on to the Logicube Omniclone Xi™ with the parallel port connection.

The host PC must also contain a partition that can be accessed when booted from a floppy diskette (i.e. a FAT16 or a FAT 32 type partition). Please verify that the host PC has a compatible port by examining the port configuration in the PC BIOS.

Host PC preparation

If running Windows 9.x, reboot and press F8 and then select "Command prompt only". The PC will boot into DOS.

1.Create a temporary directory on the host PC.

2.Copy the following software update files to the temporary directory: update.exe, ocx_load.h86, ocx.h86. You can copy them from the supplied Software Update diskette or from files downloaded from www.logicube.com.

Once the above has been accomplished, perform the following:

1.Attach the parallel cable between the host PC and Logicube Omniclone Xi™.

2.Change to the new temporary directory and run "update.exe" (or "update bidi" if Bi Directional mode is used) and then follow the instructions below.
