VGS (both versions) will start to send (to LPT 1) but then windows comes up with a 'Printer Error - the device is either not working or not connected' and vgs locks up bigtime (even task manager cannot get rid of it). When it is sending, the background on the swc doesn't slow down - so it can't be receiving anything. (if I try sending with snestool i get a very similar problem)

I have the giveio.sys driver installed in win2k - sending to the v64jr works fine with it - but for some reason the swc doesn't want to know. I'll have a play with it later today and i'm sure it'll be fine (i seem to remember reading some posts further down the board about this - will go look now...)
