The computer I used to program my atmega with bit the dust this morning.And now I am stuck using this emachine.but it doesn't have a printer port and I always used a printer cable and a 16 pin slide in loaderto program with.Is there a way to mod the programmer to use the USB on this thing? thanks

Think you're out of luck. Get a 25 pin printer port added to the PC...

Whatever you do, don't get one like the image. I bought this POS off of eBay for $10 and it doesn't work for me...I can't run an Atmega programmer or JKEYs off of it.

Buyer beware...can anyone recommend a GOOD PCI card, and hopefully provide a link???

Is the printer port installed. You can check in control panel. Double click system, hardware, device manager then go to ports. See if lpt 1 is showing. If not you can enable it in bios. Enable and set it to 0x378 normal. Also did you configure jkeys and jeepers to 0x378?

I'm with edsport on this one. I bet its just a driver or port assignment issue. That card should work. You might have to read the numbers off the card and do a thorough search for the right drivers. The startech expansion port cards are pretty good and are the only ones I know of that come with current drivers. I'm sure there are more, but I've had good luck with the startech cards.
