This is no guarantee, Seb is correct, but I've had better luck in most 
depts with startech branded stuff.

The difficulty is finding a PCIe parallel port card that does the Enhanced 
Parallel Port protocol (EPP) correctly and reliability.

When I last looked into it, years ago, the situation was terrible: 
manufacturers would make parallel port cards with totally different chipsets 
and behaviors, sold under the same model name.  It was impossible to tell.

Is there any disadvantage to placing a PCIe-based Parallel port card on a
normal PC?

And that's the answer. You connect the Mesa board to the onboard NIC
and then either use a WiFi or Ethernet USB dongle for networking.

I used one for a while with an old Xeon server board, and have one on
my Core i5 test machine.

I don't think you will have any problems with any board that has a
built-in parallel port (back panel of mothrboard header) You can use
the board-finder here to locate candidates:

Parallel ports / headers are on the left at the bottom of the list.

thank you Andy, I am redoing the configuration from scratch, so not a
problem anymore.

[andy pugh]

In the debug output I see:

HAL: ERROR: duplicate variable 'pyvcp.spindle-speed'

But don't see that in any of the HAL files that you have supplied.

Do you have a .axisrc file? I see some vaguely unfamiliar output after
Axis loads too.
