Hi, Steadfast, and welcome to the forum.

Actually I talked with a few of the guys who actually got the power back on and explained to them how frustrating it was as we had 4 sets of guys/crews come and walk around just looking up at the cables. No ladders, nothing else, just walking around. When I asked them what's it look like, they said they had no idea because they couldn't see anything wrong and they had no idea of the time frame.

The actual guys that did repairing said they had no idea or clue why they (the first 4 crews)  told me that, as it was plain as day as to what was wrong. They had us up and running in under a half hour. I'd love to know the true story about why the first 4 crews were here, but I never will...probably the power companies thinking that we'll all be appeased if they see their "men"  assessing the situation. They were wrong, it only pissed us all off when they had no answers and kept coming around without results....

Just a note to let you know I'm still here, but we've been out of power going on the 3rd day here.

Heck, I'm fairly far inland and there's still 10,000 people out of power here in central Pa. Couldn't even imagine being on the coast.

Hope all those who went through Hurricane Irene are doing ok and staying safe.

Talk soon-

Just a note that my system uses the Pokeys as well and does work correctly.

Coastel,

First, welcome to the forum 

Possibly you're seeing a motion controller such as "SmoothStepper" or "KFlop"? Those are not a USB to parallel port converters, they're actually an independent motion controller and take the processing duties that are normally run by the computer.

Please post the images, links, or videos that you're describing, and someone here will be sure to help you with that.
