Mattieu Chris did confirm that there is a bug when you dont use the default port. What happens if you use this line
loadrt hm2_7i43 config="ioaddr=0x3bc firmware=hm2/7i43-2/SVST4_4.BIT num_encoders=0 num_pwmgens=0 num_3pwmgens=0 num_stepgens=3 " Also, you must make sure that the parallel port is in EPP mode.
