Requirements
- PC:
- GNU/Linux x86 (32 or 64 bit) (tested on kernel 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 & 3.x, but should run on lower versions)
- maybe other UNIX platforms work as well, at least if a standard parallel port is used or the indirect access is used
- user-contributed build for Windows is available
- C compiler (gcc recommended)
- For parallel transfer: standard onboard parallel port or parallel port via USB (requires full parport support, line printer emulation is not enough)
- For serial transfer: onboard serial port or most standard USB serial adapters
- GNU/Linux x86 (32 or 64 bit) (tested on kernel 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 & 3.x, but should run on lower versions)
- Amiga:
- Amiga with 68k processor and standard parallel or serial port (no Amiga 1000 without adapter!)
- AmigaOS >1.0, AmigaOS 2.0 for the GUI version
- For the GUI version only: reqtools.library V38
- Note: no compiler needed
- for parallel support a LapLink cable a.k.a parallel nullmodem cable (the graphic scheme (4 kB) is from the PC2Am package)
- for serial support a Null modem cable with full hardware handshaking support (RTS/CTS).
APCComm uses the Parapin library >=0.90 for direct parallel port access. This library is included in all archives now but you can download it also from here, see Downloads.
APCComm also uses the tavvva_ppdrv library for using parallel ports without direct access. Version 0.2 is already included in the APCComm archive.
