Netmos's silicon is just plain broken. This is unfixable unless you make a specific EPP target configuration that violates EPP timing. The SIIG problem seems different. If the SIIG card works in one system, odds are really really good that it can be made to work in all systems... > > This reminds me that at one time, way before over-clocking, one could > "improve" a motherboard with a new BIOS EPROM.
