 Notes for the USB cable
 =======================

 To use the device as an ordinary user, put the user in the group 'lp'
 
 
+If you have an almost compatible cable which works with other software but not
+with Impact, try adding -DFORCE_PC3_IDENT to the CFLAGS line in the Makefile.
+This enables a hack by Stefan Ziegenbalg to force detection of a parallel cable.
+
+
 Parallel Cable IV is currently only supported in 'compatibility mode', as no
 attempt to configure the ECP registers is done by this library.
+
+
+If you get "Programming failed" or "DONE did not go high" when programming
+through the parallel cable with Impact 9.1, make sure to have the option "Use
+HIGHZ instead of BYPASS" enabled in Edit -> Preferences -> iMPACT Configuration
+Preferences.
+If you are using batch mode, add the following line to your cmd file:
+setPreference -pref UseHighz:TRUE
+(This problem also occurs on windows and when using the real windrvr in linux and
+is solved with the same workaround. Impact 8.2 is working fine with the same
+boards and designs)
