My office examples are here:

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? (bottom):

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
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. And common sense.
