Peter, >> What EPP mode are you using and what type and length of cable do you have between the 7I43 and Parallel port? <<
The available parallel port modes in the BIOS are Output only, Bi-directional, EPP and ECP. It is set to EPP, but I do not see a further selection for mode of EPP. I think we determined previously that it was version 1.9. The cable was fairly hard to find, I got it here: http://www.sealevel.com/product_detail.asp?product_id=732&26%2DPin%5FIDC%5Ft o%5FDB25%5FCable%5F It is 8" long and I previously rang it out. >> What type of paralle port do you have (motherboard/PCI add-in) << The parallel port is straight from the mother board. This is the motherboard I am using: http://www.mini-box.com/Intel-D945GCLF2-Mini-ITX-Motherboard?sc=8&category=1 00 >> Is the iteration count always the same? << No. Running it again I got an iteration count of 30865. >> I dont know if it would be caught by software checking but ISTR the 7I43 cannot use a base thread (EPP operations need to be atomic) so a 7I43 HAL should only normally only use a Servo thread << I am using the servo-thread for read and write. I also tried slowing down the servo thread, although I could try slowing it down more. I was using 1ms (1000000).
