Hi, Our latest prototype board doesnt produce any output and even a simple module to output '1's and '0's on some pins did not work. Impact configured the program successfully though. The impact log file seemed to have a different report now than when it was tested on 2 other boards. On the first two boards (where the results were ok) the log file is
// *** BATCH CMD : // *** BATCH CMD : setCable -port lpt1 Connecting to cable (Parallel Port - LPT1). Checking cable driver. Driver windrvr6.sys version = 6.2.2.2. LPT base address = 0378h.

On the new board where there was no output, the log file is
---------------------------------------------------------------------- // *** BATCH CMD : // *** BATCH CMD : setCable -port lpt1 Connecting to cable (Parallel Port - LPT1). Checking cable driver.

The status of GTS_CFG_B and GWE are different. Is this of significance?
