INSTALLATION OF PROM PROGRAMMER SOFTWARE

NOTE:


************************************************************************************************************************
*** The JED DirectIO distribution assumes that the PROM Programmer software (PP.EXE) is in the subdirectory C:\PP.***
************************************************************************************************************************


- The "pp509.exe" core was written when DOS ruled, and has since been modified to run with DirectIO.
- "pp509.exe" expects to use a parallel port at I/O addresses 0x378 - 0x37A ONLY.
- DO NOT have any ZIP drives or dongles attached when using "pp.exe"
- Auto port ID is DISSABLED in version 5.09
- READ THE PROM Programmer documentation regarding BIOS level set up of the parallel port used with "pp.exe"
- Administrative privileges are NOT required to install PROM Programmer software under MS Windows 2000 or MS Windows NT.

***Copy the contents of the J755 EPROM Programmer disk  to the subdirectory "C:\PP"
