OK I tried rev B 7I43s (your card rev) with 2 motherboards using the VIA
VT82C686 (one VT82C686A and one VT82V686B). This is the same South bridge as
your motherboard.
Using a short cable (1 foot) I had no trouble configuring or doing a EPP
loopback test (I did 100 million EPP operations with no errors on both
motherboards)
There are a couple of possibilities:
1. The 7I43 you have is bad in some way (not too likely)
2. The cable you are using is not wired correctly or has a short (easy to do
with hand assembled flat cables)
3. The 7I43 you have somehow does not have the latest CPLD firmware that echos
the FPGA size (This should only apply to very early 7I43s and I think yours
is recent)
4. Somthing is wrong with your parallel port
Can you boot DOS on your EMC PC?
If you could try some of my test utilties Maybe I can get a better idea of the
exact problem.
