NOTE:
Before start working with STA013TXD it is suggested to configure the PC Parallel Port to EPP 1.9 Mode by BIOS setup. This is possible only
for new versions of Pentium PCs.
This configuration enables a DMA channel from the PC HDD to the Parallel Port hardware, improving the performances.
Even with this configuration the user may note audio dropouts, due to the Parallel Port performance.
To minimise the effect, it is suggested to copy the mp3 files on the P.C. HDD and run a de fragmentation tool.
The STA013TXD can handle data rates up to 128Kbit/sec.
