My office examples are here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Startech (bottom) http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?SIIG Thinking aloud, once the card is set to EPP mode, from that point on it handles the hardware hand shake (from the EPP data register), which is in firmware, so should not change from one PC to another. The PC end is very basic, just place the out data on the data (base+4) register, then read the in data from the data register. There doesn't seem to be much room for something to go wrong, except in the NetMos case where the firmware is broken, and is consistently broken. I have forced NetMos cards into EPP and gotten the Pico comm test to mostly work (errors every few cycles), but this doesn't seem to be something that works on one PC and not another. The only thing that comes to mind is the timing of when the one or anther PC writes and reads the EPP data register. Maybe more here?

Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
