A. Windows 95 handles enumerating PCMCIA COM ports (i.e. PCMCIA modems) much better than the case of parallel ports. After initial installation or any configuration changes of the SPP-100, Windows 95 may fail to assign a logical LPT number to the parallel port. The solution to this problem is to shut down and restart Windows 95 with the SPP-100 installed.
