My Compaq Evo N600c laptop has some of it's parallel port pins @ 5.0v some @ 3.3v and the rest are grounded @ 0v. The question is will it do any damage to my parallel port by using pullup resistors on the breakout board so that pins 1 to 17 are at 5.0v ?
I also noticed that pin 20 is @ 5.0v too will it be OK to ground that one as the design of my breakout board requires that pins 18 to 25 are commoned to ground?
