Questions answered in these manuals
What PC is required to use the Evaluation Board Controller?
A Pentium 90 MHz or faster PC with a bidirectional printer port and a standard 12 VAC, 1 A transformer.
From: Analog Devices Eval‑Control Brd2 Evaluation Board Controller User Manual
How can I tell if my printer port is bidirectional?
Check the PC’s BIOS settings; bidirectional capability is usually indicated there, and you may need to enable it.
From: Analog Devices Eval‑Control Brd2 Evaluation Board Controller User Manual
What parallel port mode is required for the ECB?
The ECB requires at least one parallel port set in bidirectional mode, preferably ECP (Extended Capability Protocol) mode.
Can USB-to-LPT dongles be used with the ECB?
No, the use of USB-to-LPT dongles is not allowed because the GIVEIO driver needs a legacy LPT port.
