What have I done!

Ahh yes, I know what you mean and I have planned ahead for that, but I still have the Kress installed. It happens when the 25pin cable is connected to the PC (at the PC end) whether or not the PC is on. I also tried it in the standard printer port & same thing happens. Also happens with my spare PC.

It does look like electrical noise and it's on all axis. I just can't see what has changed.

Have you got a spare printer cable to try ?

[artmin]

I did have a rummage for another to test it, but I'll have to dig deeper.

Unfortunately it's not the cable. I just managed to fit the ribbon on the control board straight into the back of the parallel port and it's still doing the same.

Is there anybody in the UK who takes this kind of repair job on or is it better to ditch it and build a new controller with bits from Zapp? I was just very happy with how stable the system was. I could throw half a million lines of code at it and it would take it in it's stride.

Sounds as if somethings not connected right with the power supply, check with a volt meter and then check again!
