USB port TMS

[David McFarlane]

Sara,

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
really does like to take any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they strive 
to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours -- this is pretty much their 
substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of it.  3) If you 
do get an answer from PST Web Support, please extend the courtesy of 
posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take ...

Unless PST has added something new to the latest release of EP2, E-Prime 
simply has no facility for sending or receiving data through a USB port, 
so you are just out of luck there.  But do not take my word for this, 
please contact PST Web Support yourself and then report back here.

Say, why not just install another parallel port?  Or, does your other 
device need all 8 outputs from the parallel port?  If not, why not just 
build a cable to send different wires to your different devices?  Just 
take a look at the book "Parallel Port Complete" by Jan Axelson to get 
some idea of how to make full use of the parallel port.  Or, skip the 
parallel port and just install a real digital I/O card (e.g., from 
http://www.mccdaq.com ).
