INSTRUCTIONS ON CONFIGURING A BACKPACK CD-RW DRIVE
FOR USE WITH A LAVA PCI PARALLEL PORT

Backpack Type: Backpack CD-RW Drive

Backpack Software Version: Any software

Operating System: Windows 95/98/mE/2000

Other Related Hardware: Lava PCI Parallel Port add-on card

Issue Details: 
Backpack Not Found or Read Errors when connected to a 
Lava PCI parallel port add-on card.

Resolution: 
Limitations of the EPP Capabilities of the Lava PCI 
parallel port card require that it be used in 
EPP-byte mode. To achieve this with Backpack Plug 
and Play software for Windows, access the Backpack Finder 
utility in Control Panel and under the "Finder Settings" tab, 
uncheck the EPP (DWORD) and EPP (WORD) options. After making 
the change, unplug the Backpack data cable or eject the 
Backpack PC Card, then plug it back in. Backpack's 
"Data Transfer Mode" (under the Devices tab) should
appear as EPP (BYTE).
