I have a Field PG M4 with WinXP containing virtual machine (Win98 and ScoUnix) for working with StrucG. I need help for flashing program from STUC G to MS5 card because this PG does not have the parallel port for using the parallel programmer, but have the internal slot for MC. I am not able to use this slot for reading/writing card. Both from OS guest and OS Host. There are some actions for writing MC using the internal slot? Maybe from OS Host? Thanks Giorgio

You will need another PC with installed UNIX/STRUC and external (PP1X) or internal (PP1I) programmer. Downloading program to Msxx modules via integrated PCMCIA is possible only for Step7/CFC/D7-SYS software.

I thought that it will be possible to do this action because it is a PG in a site and they do not have the external programmer. I tried with a external parallel programmer that I have and tried with USB/Parallel adapter, virtualizing the LPT1 created, but with no success. I will search another solution. Thanks
