How can i check, whether Powercopy
file-transfer peer to peer feature works with my computer?
PCs
produced in 1993 until now: Powercopy works
on every Computer which has parallel printer interface.
Produced
until 1993:
If you have still older PC, you can check whether
it runs on your system.
If one of the following
four checks matches with your computer, then you can
use Powercopy on it!
1. Read inside your PC-System manual whether the ECP, EPP or bidirectional
(SPP) parallel mode is supported.
2.
Under Win9x. On your Desktop click on My Computer with the right
mouse button and select properties.
If you can read ECP Printer Port here then your system is ideal
configured for Powercopy
3. Restart your system -> go into your bios setup,
go to the the parallel port settings and try to enable either ECP(best)
Epp or the bidirectional(SPP) mode.
4.Under
Win9x: Download the test version and install Powercopy. If you select
a folder with the right mouse Button the the following popup menu
will appear.
Now select receive here and start the Receiver. Don't worry! Because
you haven't connected a Powercopy cable we can nothing receive.
But you can see the parallel interface capability inside the DOS
- box.
(very
old powercopy logic screen shot )
If you can read something right of "Parallel Port Cababilities is/are",
then you can use Powercopy with this computer. By pressing the key
combination ALT+F4 twice, this window will be closed.
