1. I'll work on a better cable. I've got IDC26F connectors and some spare 26 flat cable and will crimp up something shortly. Cable is important 2. Yes. My 7i43 has FPGA XC3S200 (3s200tq144), I think this equates to 7i43-2, card part# 7I43-U. I've noticed your updates mesanet

Could be any number of things, but looks like maybe a signal integrity issue or incorrect bitfile to me. 1. What length and kind of cable connects the 7I43 to the PC? (cable should be IEEE-1284 compatible or flatcable, other printer cables may not have enough grounds) 2. You are using a
