pls help , i too have same problem with my desktop,compaq dc 5800.wich doesnt have db 25 pinout,i tried pci parallel card with no hope, then i bought serial parallel port adapter cable, which connects to the mother board and on other end there is db 25 that damn thing also not helping me,as soon as i connect BOB all 4 LEDs goes on and subsequently all 4 motors get hot.the bob and and its configuration  works fine with my other desktop, which is again compaq d 530 , with parallel port built in.
pls suggest remedy if some one out there knows about this issue, i tried check voltage on db 25 which is  4.85 v on pin 1 thru pin 16 and other pins has 0 v
