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?
