Hi,

I am using ISE 9.1

I had an old Digilab IIE board which i want to use. The Digilab IIE
board can be programmed using the PC's parallel port. However, my PC
has only USB ports. as such i bought an usb-DB25 cable to connect the
parallel cable which comes with the board to my PC. Unfortunately when
trying to configure FPGA through a simple design project, the cable is
not recognised. the complete error log is attached below. Namely, the
main error message is:

Connecting to cable (Usb Port - USB21).
Checking cable driver.
File C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\xusbdfwu.sys not found.
Driver file not found. Inf file version = 0.
Driver xusbdfwu.sys version: 1021 (1029).
Driver windrvr6.sys version = 8.1.0.0. WinDriver v8.10 Jungo (c) 1997
- 2006 Build Date: Aug 15 2006 X86 32bit SYS 14:21:34, version = 810.
Cable connection failed.
PROGRESS_END - End Operation.



I have tried Xilinx Answer 30184) to noavail. any help please> Many
thanks
