IMPORTANT NOTE: The VP2000 functionality performed via the parallel cable may not work with some host computers.

It is important to set the host computer parallel port to "bi-directional".

Start the VP2000.EXE program (you will find it in the CPU utility CD-ROM or in www.parvus.com tech support area) on the Host computer. Select the following options based on the Host computer serial or parallel port used.

EXAMPLE: A:\VP2000 /COM=1 /A

A:\VP2000 [/COM=n] [/V] [/K] [/D [/C] [/A]

/COM=1

- Use Serial Port at 3F8H (IRQ=4)

/COM=2

- Use Serial Port at 2F8H (IRQ=3)

/COM=3

- Use Serial Port at 3E8H (IRQ=4)

/COM=4

- Use Serial Port at 2E8H (IRQ=3)

/LPT=1

-

Use Parallel Port at 378h

/LPT=2

-

Use Parallel Port at 278h

7LPT=3

- Use Parallel Port at 3BCh

The COM ports listed above, refer to the serial port on the Host computer.
