yes just some test wires coming direct from the parallel port to a dvom.  I think i'll just ditch this card.

Thanks

Yes port monitor sees it activating.  I have tried it without port monitor and hooked to the bob, but the same thing happens and the voltage drops from 5v to 0v and stays there until i reboot even though you can see it toggling in port monitor.

the address for pci 2 says d050 so that is what i put in mach3 on parallel port 2 and yes the dro's do move when toggled.  I also have the parallel port monitor installed so i can see the outputs being activated

I have installed a startech pci parallel card because there is none on the board.  When testing the port with mach3 i can jog any of my axis and see the volage drop from 5v to 0v, the problem is it stays at 0 until i reboot the computer.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
