Abandoned Freeware


Parallel ports are becomming less common in 
computers, but they are required for connecting 
older peripherals, older copy protection keys, 
and for controlling custom hardware devices.  
Unfortunately, when choosing a parallel port to 
add into your computer, their is often little 
information from the manufacture regarding the 
performance characteristics of the add-in card.  

"PARALLEL" tests your parallel port to determine 
its parameters (Port type,Address, IRQ, and BIOS 
name).  Note that for IRQ detection, you will 
need to use a loopback plug.  

"PARASPD" tests the I/O speed of your parallel 
port under 4-bit, 8-bit, and EPP/ECP modes.
