byteblaster not showing up in hardware

I regret to tell that based on my experience I was not able to resolve the problem You described either.

Indeed, I have tried to install the BYTE-Blaster on Parallel Port installed on a PCI card (since my motherboard LPT1 was used by a software dongle) and I could not get it to work.

Since I did not have time to spent on troubleshooting this problem, the only solution that I found was to purchase a USB Blaster: I know that this is quite of an amount of money to be spent if You are not going to use it frequently, but the USB-Blaster has several advantages compare to the BYTE-Blaster.

I hope that someone will be able to provide You with the possible solution.
