Craig,
I believe I might know what part (and hopefully all) of my problem is. My DB25 cable is not a "straight thru" cable. It is a serial crossover cable. From my understanding, this means the pin outputs on the computer side do not coincide with the same pins controller side... I assume this is why nothing is getting through the BOB to the drivers.
I have a new cable on order. Fingers crossed.
Also, I am going to jump the 5V and EN terminals and see what happens. Afterwards, I'll probably cease messing with it until I get the new cable in. It's only a matter of time before I accidentally fry something and have to start over. I will update the thread as I go.
Thanks again for your help.
