I get “No PC-I2C Hardware Detected” when attempting to read the EEPROM under Windows9X.
  • Make sure the following:
    - the PC-I2C is attached to the proper parallel port and configured to match the system hardware (via the "Options" menu)
    - If you are utilizing a laptop PC, make sure the parallel port is NOT powered down through power management.
    - Verify that there is no other software running that manipulates the parallel port such as FLEXlm software protection.
    - If you have the PC-I2C attached to external hardware, disconnect this and re-test.
    - Make sure the parallel port is configured for "bi-directional" communications.
