			I set my parallel port to EPP through my BIOS setup and that did not help. I have the cart on the proper way, I bought mine with the plastic casing, so I'm going on the assumption that whoever put it together did it correctly - I'll check that out in a moment. This is the parallel port cable I'm using - will this work, or do I need some other cable? Any suggestions? http://www.directdial.com/us/shopbelkin/item/F3D50... Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

So, quick question -- how long did yours take to get here? I just ordered mine tonight after talking some business with Tomy over the past few days about a possible product idea.

I can't wait!

			Well, no post on Sunday, so I don't know how long it would have taken otherwise, but I ordered it Wednesday of last week, and it shipped from Hong Kong to Chicago arriving yesterday morning (Monday). I'd say that's pretty good. I was expecting longer, even though they did say 5-7 days.

			Thanks man...good info to know! I'm over here in Atlanta, so I think 4-5 days is about right.

			no, that cable is wrong. it has to be a 1:1 cable, NOT laplink.

Oh thank God. And here I was thinking that there was some hardware issue here. Good times. Is there anyone that can post a link to an example? When I Google "parallel cable 1:1 male", the results are too wide to zero in on what I need.

EDIT: http://www.sfcable.com/Merchant2/merchant....atego...

Like that?

			yup.

			Awesome. Thanks for the help!

			Well, I got mine in finally, and it works like a dream. Like others have said, the software could definitely be written better (it flickers like mad and other little annoyances), but overall an A+ product. I'll definitely be ordering from them again in the future, that's for sure.
