Make sure the parallel adapter puts out the full 5 volts as specified by the IEEE spec. Low voltage parallel ports (like ones found on some cheap parallel cards and laptops) will cause a problem bit banging the SDR-1000. It does not use the standard printer signals.

USB is the likely excuse for the ports disappearing. I have stuff on the bench that MUST run on a parallel port (altera byteblaster II). The problem: I went and got a 2 parallel port board for <pci express> (didn't want to use up the last plain pci slot). powersdr will do everything control wise but the front end of the radio is dead - no receive signal or output RF. This on svn 1125 (1.8.0) and svn 1357. Plug it back into lpt1 (378) and it's back to normal. Probably obvious but I'm old and dumb today The question: What does the stork need on the parallel cable beyond the normal printer signals ?
