hey, there's a program that us router hackers use to fix bricked routers which ppl accidently brick when trying to install DD-WRT open source router firmware. It uses the parallel port to erase the memory on the router. The program that needs re-writing in a modern language enables the JTAG cable to communicate with the router via a parallel (aka lptp) port but if you are using a pci card with a parallel port on then it wont work as the IRQ addresses are incorrect to the default ones for this app which are the ones which onboard parallel ports use. If someone can re-write this app in a modern language we might be able to get 1 of the dd-wrt programmers to change the code to auto-detect the irq addresses, we would need the new sourcecode of course.

source code: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tmdq77 (25kb)
for more info about this app and what needs to be changed after written in a modern language see here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php...asc&start=0
we would be very thankful indeed!
here is a photo of the cable that its for to connect PC to a router:
