You have to know some PCs have problems with LPT chanse is bigger with
old PC and i have info if you use Linux tool working better.
HOW TO Reapair DM500 bootloader.
1) Interface
DB25 male printer connector
6 wieres + 5 resistors of 100 ohms (you have to use short connection wieres between LPT and Dreambox
from dreambox to resistors about +- 10 cm and from resistors to LPT use LPT cable but not to long.)
ON printer connector short connect pin 18 to 25 and connect the last wire.
rest of the wieres connect the resistors and use the schematics
LPT <---------------> Dreambox
2 --> 100 ohms --> 11
3 --> 100 ohms --> 9
4 --> 100 ohms --> 7
5 --> 100 ohms --> 3
11--> 100 ohms --> 1
25 -->-->-->-->--> 16

2) Computer and BIOS configuration:
BIOS COMPUTER **** LPT Printer ****ECP+EPP
Windows XP **** Contr.panel-System-Hardware-Device>Porten****Printer port****i never use an interrupt!
3) Start program ****Connect (important) When You hit the connect simultaniously place the power to dream.
No Connection, Try Again (again) ****Connect then (important) When You hit the connect simultaniously place the power to dream.
If you have connect ****(important) Write right dm500...bin for a boot of 500 alps (what must be all the clones).
(boot file for DM500)
After you can USE standard DreamUP to put new image
Windows tools.PLS USE right bin bot file for DM500 for a boot of 500 alps (what must be all the clones).
you have to rename dm500_alps_boot_00_00_00_00_00_00.bin file
in to blimg and put/replace blimg file in Jtag_DM500 folder
