serial/PS2 mouse
Connecting
the programmer:
Connect one end of
the parallel cable to the programmer and the other into one of the
parallel ports on the PC. Tighten the holding screws to ensure the
cable is properly attached to the ECP or SPP printer port. Connect
the power supply provided into the back of the programmer and plug

QuickStart
Tutorials:
Although
a manual is not provided with the programmer, there is one available
as a PDF
document.
It includes full details on installing the programmer and software,
a guide to the various utilities and diagnostics. There are also a
number of application
notes
available in PDF format.
