Need help with software.

[djcevera20]

So im trying to get started and unfortunately I cannot find the iocards software ver 3.2 download. it is no longer located on opencockpits download page. They have ver 3.4 avail but u cannot install it unless you have 3.2 installed. Really all I need is the controller exe so I can figure out which inputs and outputs are which. I will be using sioc when everything is up and running. eventually. Could someone please help.

Ok so my issues get worst installed the latest version of sioc only to find out it does not support port connection only USB. And seeing a new USB expansion card is not in the budget and I cannot download an older version from opencockpits.com I ask this. Does anyone still have a version of sioc that would support par port connection who is willing to send to me for a download. For now I'm dead in the water..

Geoff thank you so very much. You don't happen to have a link to an older version of sioc as well? one which supports parallel port hook up. I belive the last ver that supported it was 3.5. Thanks again and happy holidays to you.

Hello djcevera20

Here is Sioc_37B1.zip which seems to be the latest 3.X version.

Not sure if the LPT interface still is there..

Geoff again thank you very much I am gonna download it tonight. Oh and my name is tim.

[djcevera20]

Peril thank you also but I believe the last version to support parallel was 3.5 but I will give it a try one I get everything up and running.

[djcevera20]

so after some tinkering i still cannot get the controler.exe to recognize my master card. I have tried each available mode in my bios for the parallel port and when i start the controller program it says parallel port disabled. its wierd because i had this card working back in 2009. is it possible that version 3.2 does not support parallel port connection and that the version i had previously installed back in 09 did? another thing to note is this master card while running on all of the same hardware at the time was running on a xp based operating system and now i am running windows seven.

Hello Tim

Take a look at this thread - some talk about the challenge
with Win7 and LPT driver. Maybe the Win7/32bit version works though.

I would suggest to invest in an USBExpansion board or roll back to WinXP.
