    Then it works!

    I'm running Mach3 on Win7 32Bit

    How have you confirmed the functionality of your Parallel Port?

    Doesn't matter since he says he is using an UC100.

    Yes but he is not very good at answering questions... anyway, if he is using an UC100, as he said later, then it doesn't matter. So his conclusions are totally wrong, has nothing to do with XP.

    so the original breakout board works with the old XP PC but not the new windows 7 PC

    its possible the W7 PC either not configured correctly or
    has a 3.3V output that is too low for the BOB

    when you tried the uc100
    what state was the green power LED & blue Communication LED ?

    may be the UC100 plug in is not installed correctly ??
