For parallel port usage it is necessary to have the EPP- loader-firmware (BOOTLOAD.H86) in the NetPorty II - Flash-EPROM.

All Porty's are delivered with this loader but it is possible that you have overwritten it by your own firmware.

In this case it is possible to download the EPP-firmware again into the NetPorty II -Flash.
