I have a development kit for MCU's with a programmer that plugs into the
Centronics port of a PC. In the manual they say you need an AT. However
at home I have still an XT. The programmer software always hangs on my
XT when he tries to READ something from the Parallel port. (a blank
check..) On an AT at my office, it works fine ...

Here my question : is there a difference in hardware between the
centronics port implementation in the XT and the AT PCs or is it only
the manufacturers 'fault'. Maybe I could buy an extra parallel port for
my XT that works well ??
