    Default Willem help

    Hey guys. I got myself a Willem burner, but i cant get the bloody thing to connect to my pc. I'm using a parallel to USB cable for the data (can i do that?) and a USB A to B cable for the power. As soon as i plug in the USB cable all 3 LED's on the board light up, if i just plug in the parallel cable only the "power" lights up.

    Whatever i do though, when i go to "test hardware" on the software program it says "hardware error, check power and connection" All the jumpers seem to be correct. I dunno what i'm doing wrong...?

    You plugging in both cables? USB is for power, parallel is for data. Also I'm not sure if you can use a parallel to usb thing, thats why I spent a few dollars and got a parallel addon card for my computer off ebay

    havent found a usb-lpt cable that works. they just cant replicate a real parallel port.

    you need a proper parallel port, or buy a "true" usb willem burner, theyre about twice the price of a parallel burner.
