[Techtoolslist] Xeltek SuperPro III VMware Player/Workstation Image

[Mike Coates]

I'm using a xeltek superpro 3L on parallel port on Windows 7, 32 bit 
without any problem.

I think you can get them working on any 32 bit windows based US using a 
program called USERPORT

I also have my Xeltek 280U working on Windows 7 64 bit using a custom 
driver, (it's one of the USB ones) details on my webpage as to how to do 
it of you have one and want to give it a try. (apparently works with 
3000U as well)
