This means a complete replacement and rewiring of of the existing flat cables and reprogramming and checkout of the now working system.
Another alternative may be to add another parallel port board to provide more parallel ports. The current add-on board which provided 2 parallel ports, had the addresses preassigned and adding another identical board would surely have an address conflict. How can I add additional parallel ports and avoid address conflicts?
