Re: EMC running at last!

Hi Clint,

One suggestion - have you got a printer or anything else plugged into the
parallel port? This will stop things working and give you the red figures as
I fould out early on after half an hour's head scratching wondering why it
worked in the morning but not in the afternoon after I'd done a bit of word
processing.
