RE: Parallel port on TP-750?



I think ECP is a superset of EPP and is probably better for SCSI transfers.

On the 750 you have to enable EPP in the "easy setup" program.  
Under "config" set the parallel port to "parallel_2".  This is one of 
those IBM "undocumented features" that OS2 users are quite familiar 
with.  IBM seems to have a CIA-like attitude towards documentation.
