Title: Looking for LPT Port Bracket
Post by: chookey on March 17, 2008, 11:44:13 am: Hi everyone,
I have just built a new pc using the GA-P35-DS3R motherboard. I really need a comport and parallel port so bought a bracket from my local supplier, unfortunately the pin assignment is incorrect for the header on the motherboard.

Gigabyte do their own bracket..S/N:12CF1-1LP001-01R LPT port cable. I am unable to find anywhere that sells it.

Can anyone help??

I also would like to get hold of this bracket. Could you possibly send me a PM, or post the details here as I'm sure many members could benefit from this information.

Regards,

Dan

I really need the LPT cable gigabyte for my Pc. I bought a GA-P35 DS4 motherboard and i need to use my old printer that is on LPT port. Rui can you help me ? I bought some LPT cable but pin assignement is not correct and so not the same as gigabyte made on his motherboard.

Warmly.

Post by: Technojunkie on February 23, 2009, 08:05:01 am: Hi

Is it still possible to buy an LPT header cable from you?( S/N:12CF1-1LP001-01R)

Or can anyone point me in the direction of a company that sells them?

Thanks

Post by: Nadia Gigabyte on February 23, 2009, 03:11:23 pm: Hi there,

of course just send me a cheque of £6, payable to GBT TECH CO Ltd and I will ship it to you.

Nadia ;)

Post by: mark rumsey on June 11, 2009, 11:42:14 pm: Hi Nadia,

I'm also after the port headers (serial & parallel) for my new MA790FXT-UD5P. Are the details for the cheque still the same?

Many thanks

Mark

P.S. One of the main reasons I bought a Gigabyte board is the onboard parallel port. Real onboard ports like this are essential for anyone wanting to run old parallel port dongle protected software on old versions of Windows running inside Microsoft VirtualPC. MS VPC does not recognise ports on expansion cards, only onboard ports at the original address. The parallel port is also the reason why I bought the expensive UD5P instead of the cheaper MA790 FX-UD4P. I don't need crossfire support, dual Ethernet or multiple raid arrays, just a parallel port. So can you please, please, please, please, please ask your board designers to keep designing boards with onboard parallel ports. Thanks again.

Dear Nadia,
Is there a way to purchase the 12CF1-1LP001-01R Lpt port bracket locally in the US?
Perhaps you could please forward contact info to me, for your counterpart in the US?
Thank you in advance!

I've searched all the online retailers over here and cannot find it.
Found a few generics, but I understand the MB Header's Pin-Out is different than standard.
Thanks again! Cheers!

John

Just send your request to: sales@gbt-tech.co.uk or returns@gbt-tech.co.uk , as Nadia is not available for several days :'(
Title: Re: Looking for LPT Port Bracket
Post by: mr_belowski on July 28, 2010, 01:42:41 pm: These still available? I emailed sales@gbt-tech but no response yet :(

If not, anyone know where I can pick up a generic one?
Title: Re: Looking for LPT Port Bracket
Post by: NX3 on July 31, 2010, 02:53:44 pm: I got one off ebay but they are too short for Gigabyte motherboards so still looking to find one ? Do Gigabyte reply on here ?
Title: Re: Looking for LPT Port Bracket
Post by: Dark Mantis on July 31, 2010, 03:26:50 pm: Well sometimes, although the moderator, runn3R, has just gone away for two weeks so I wouldn't expect much in the next few weeks. You could try contacting Gigabyte Technical Support though.
Title: Re: Looking for LPT Port Bracket
Post by: NX3 on August 22, 2010, 07:16:33 pm: I've got 2 spare if anyone wants them, I bought a few from china as the only cheap way to get hold of them !

One is 30cm cable, the other is 25cm which was a tad too short for my mobo.

You can see my email address if you click me, send a small donation to cover postage is all I ask.

Post by: assemblerhead on October 20, 2010, 12:29:40 am: Howdy,

does anyone know a way to get the LPT cable 12CF1-1LP001-01R in the USA?
All the on-line vendors don't/won't carry the cables (maybe just the COM cable if at all)

Thanks for any info.

Post by: PeterO on January 24, 2011, 11:25:25 pm: Hi,

I hope that Gigabyte still sell the LPT cable 12CF1-1LP001-0*R for the GA-PA55-USB3 I've just purchased. Could Nadia or someone else at Gigabyte in Milton Keynes confirm this and verify the postal address for my cheque?

Thanks

Peter
