Hans (and others):
I recall reading something on the net regarding CT, LPT keying
and whether you have an Enhanced Parallel Port in your
computer or not. I believe the solution was to turn off
the EPP function in the BIOS.
I will exmanine the setup in my new machine this week and
see if I have the same trouble.
