Hi All,

I am trying to connect my Three-StepperMotor Controller to my PC via
Parallel port. But whenever I connect it, it heats up and two of those
stepper motors jam (I can't move them by hand).

I found out that if I go to my PC's BIOS and change the LPT1 mode from
EPP to something else, only one stepper will be jammed (if I change it
to Bi-Di system doesn't boot!!:Asus A8N-VM CSM/NBP)

Windows version I am using is XP and no printer is installed.

I have another PC with Win98 installed on it. If I connect my
controller to that PC, everything works fine with no problem.

Anybody has any idea?

Microsoft are idiots. It'll work fine inder DOS too !
