Problem Title:
6.0: Programmable Key:  Change parallel port settings if key is not
seen.



Problem Description:
 ERROR MESSAGE:  "No current Xilinx keys found on parallel port."

On some PCs (we have seen Compaq, NEC, and Dell thus far), the Programmable Key
is not seen.

CAUSE:	Improper CMOS com port driver setup.



Solution 1:

In Advanced CMOS Setup, look for com port drivers.
Change the driver to "Compatible" or "Bidirectional".
