I suspect the two PHYTEC documents were written at different times, by different authors, using different McCraigor BDM's. ECP and EPP is what I had used on older BDM's, so not sure on the comment saying to avoid those modes.
Quick glance at McCraigors web site points out the MPDemon is compatible with all types of parallel ports, but ECP and EPP are recommended for best performance. Also is a note that PCI to Parallel Port Cards will improve performance, which is recommended.
http://www.macraigor.com/downloads/MPDemon_manual.pdfSome notebooks will mux the Parallel Port function with other devices, so do check that the Parallel Port Cable is full IEEE-1284 compliant. One 'trick' one laptops is to look for an open ground, so the Parallel Port becomes a floppy interface (some older laptops allowed for floppy devices to be attached).
