Does anyone have any insight on why my Pluto-P works fine on my
motherboard parallel ports and not on PCI card parallel ports? I believe
the LED should barely come on a successful firmware load, but none of my
PCI cards get this far. One of the reasons I like this board, in
addition to the price, are the faster than parallel port PWM or step
outputs, but I'm not totally sure the Pluto is that fast. It's good to
have the speed so that there is less compromise with resolution.

Jon, have you thought about a "light" version of your controllers?
