No stress on it, thermal Compaq desktop computer. Two PCI parallel port cards. Heavy duty parallel cables I bought years ago. You'd have to hit 'em with a .50 BMG to do any damage to them. Both cables ohm'd out good. Both cards are well seated in their respective PCI slots. It takes a couple of seconds for the velocity to ramp up on the display before the joint 2 error pops up. No change during that time in the Z axis position on the display.
