-Project goal: open source tools to drive BP programmers to enable more advanced R&D (ex: raster scan laser to find fuses)
-Secondary goal: explore options to make high quality legacy parallel port units (ex: BP-1600) usable on modern computers.  One good option might be to RE protocol and network them with a RPi
-====== Parallel port ======
-EOL notice: [[http://www3.bpmmicro.com/web/helpandsupport.nsf/WebKeys/BPM-8NTSKL?openDocument|http://www3.bpmmicro.com/web/helpandsupport.nsf/WebKeys/BPM-8NTSKL?openDocument]]

-LN: ftp://ftp.bpmmicro.com/Dnload/bpw_v5330.exe
-LN: is the last one which works with parport
-LN: however i'm not sure that one runs on xp!
-LN: that one does bitch at you that parport is EOLed
-LN: 5270 is the last one which doesn't bitch
-LN: if that bothers you

-===== VM operation =====
-Card: StarTech Parallel Card - SPP/EPP/ECP EC1PECPS
-Without any programmer you get this:
-<code>
-Since there is no programmer attached to any LPT or USB port, the software will operate in the demo mode.
-If you are trying to use a programmer, make sure it is powered up and plugged into a parallel printer port (LPT models) or a USB 2.0 port (USB models).
-Use the File/Configure command to establish communications with the programmer.
-</code>
-Tried to use PCI express parallel port with VMWare.  Got this (BIOS: bidirectional):
-<code>
-"programmer site 1 did not respond to reset"
-</code>
-VM performance very poor even before launching BP software.  Gave up and went to real windows system
-Hooked up EC1PECPS to native Windows XP t61 system and wokred fine.
-====== JM inventory ======

-Dying to read it?  Well you probably don't want to:
-<code>
-LN: its not super exciting, documents some bpdos stuff and basic setup
-</code>
-But feel free to throw out a line if you *really* want it scanned for some bizarre reason
