I have no experience with DOS but under Linux I too have noticed that the
cabling is really critical. For example even a rather short length of flat
cable can totally ruin the communication. This seems to make it a bit
difficult with the older AT motherboards where the D-connector is not
directly on the board...

BTW I'm talking about the EPPFLEX hardware. Don't know if this is
applicable to the older EPP adapter.
