Hello Chess Friends
how to check if a Mephisto PC Modul is working? (Or at least is not completely "dead").
Preferably without connecting it to PC (no unit with LPT port available at the moment).
If you plug the PC Modul to Modular (not Exclusive) board and turn it on, what should happen?
Should the lights flash/blink?
Should something appear on the LCD display?
Thank you for tips!

Nothing happens with a PC Modul not connected to a PC, no leds blinking and no LCD works with it.jarek wrote:Hello Chess Friends

You'll need a win 98 PC.

Thank you Xavier.
I connected the PC Modul to my Modular board - no leds blinking, nothing happens on the LCD display.
I connected it to my Windows 7 notebook (I have a LPT port in the docking station) but still no sign the PC Modul is "alive".
Perhaps I should change some settings in BIOS or in control panel?
or perhaps the LPT offered by my docking station does not offer all LPT functionalities?
thanks in advance for your comments!
