Well I couldn't get my version of XP to load. I went out and got a used PC and I'm back at making chips. This PC is running XP, one thing I noticed and I also noticed this on my other PC with XP is that when you load a program into Mach the Reset button doesn't flash. It did when running under Vista. Is this normal?

Wow, can't believe it took me this long to catch that. Hopefully I can get X loaded and see if we can make some progress today. I'll keep you posted.

I wonder if it is that I am running a 64 bit version of Vista?

I called him, but I only get his answering machine. Not too good if I want to order one and have it overnighted to me!

I can't find anywhere in the CMOS to change to EPP. This is getting to be a serious pain in the ass. I guess tomorrow I'll take it in and see if the experts can fix it. I'll also change out the RAM in my old PC and see if that makes a difference.

I'm pretty sure that my problem is the parallel port card. If I install my old computer the machine works. I think there is something up with the address or the fact that it is an ECP port?

Hood, I'm not sure I have the correct port address assigned. Do you see something that verifies this?
