Hi all FMS parallelport users!
I read about SmartPropo some days ago and just tried it... works fine!
It uses the microphone or line input of your soundcard and has no problems with restricted port access.
Since I was one of the first users who built the parallel port interface for FMS... to be sure I was THE first one
) I had this first prototype on hands and just connected the output designed for interfacing to the parallel port to the input of my sound card. This has the advantage, that the voltage at the input of the sound card will never exeed 5 V which should be safe enough for that input.
Only draw back (as for now) is the restricted usability to Win 2000 and XP.
Be sure to read the manual of SmartPropo at
