When you say the parallel cable doesn't work, were you trying it on your Cox remote? If so, that's a JP1.x remote, so you shouldn't expect it to work. Does it still work with the URC-8810?
Anyway, the EFC5 on the "9" button in the audio/1160 code on the URC-8810 remote is 01865. _________________ Rob

Thanks All,
One of the codes suggested by 3FG did the trick (67401). I had never found that Lookup Tool before (despite its being right in front of me). I had searched messages, and the file section for info, but not that. THere is great stuff in there.
I had tried the (old) cable with the 8810, but I am now 64-bit Vista, so I'm not sure it will every work as is.
Thanks for all your help. I am once again back to 1 remote!

Regarding the test of possible replacement drivers:
Based on input from mdavej, I have augmented the installation instructions, and included a slightly different version of the helper program WinUSBInfo. The issue is Win7 (and perhaps Vista) doesn't like application programs modifying the registry. So any downloads before the time of this post don't have the presumably better instructions.
NOTE: These drivers were generated and "tested" using XP and without the target USB interface cable or JP1 remote. So the instructions to install may require interpretation to work with Vista or Win7.
The driver files are 7 MB. Here's the revised instructions without any driver files.

Where has this discussion been going on? I had been unaware that there was an effort to do this. As soon as I get home I'd be happy to test out the Intel driver on my 64-bit Vista laptop. Perhaps this should be in the Software thread? (I'm tired of having to borrow my kids' XP machines just to read'write to my JP1 remotes ) _________________ Beginners - Read this thread first

My cable is an original JP1 format, parallel cable, which I bought from "Tom" at filebug.com in 2004. I have the old 8810 to use it with. I am now 64-bit Vista, but I do still have a parallel port on my laptops docking station.
If this configuration might still work with the drivers mentioned earlier in this thread, I'd be happy to try them.

Those drivers are for the Delcom based USB cables, they don't have anything to do with the parallel port. Have you tried running in "XP SR3 compatibility mode" (as mentioned here)? _________________ Rob
