Looking for HP Plamtop drivers for Quatech SPP-100 - vminko - 04-04-2018 09:46 AM
Hello, everybody.
I can't find HP palmtop drivers for my PCMCIA card with parallel port (Quatech SPP-100).
The driver is called spp-hp.exe, according to
http://web.archive.org/web/20090422162232/http://quatech.com:80/support/drivers_pcmciapar.php
If you have it, please be so kind to share it.
Thanks in advance,
Vitaly

I can't vouch for this site or the authenticity of the file on offer, but this looks pretty convincing:
https://www.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=617545
It's a WinZip self-extracting archive, which I extracted with 7-Zip (just to be safe). It contains two files, spp100pd.sys, and spp100pt.exe.
Based on some of the ASCII strings embedded in the files, it sure looks like this is it.

Thank you so much!
I attached this file (in ZIP format) just in case somebody else would need it.
Beside that I found another driver for this card written by a Japanese guy. I also attached this driver.
