This optional package is causing me some headaches.

I have a device (a GameBoy cartridge writer, to be precise), which
connects
on the parallel port.  It only works when the parallel port is in EPP
mode.
My BIOS settings definitely have the parallel port LPT1 set to EPP.

Running my test program, I can't set the port to EPP mode.  Weird
stuff...
code follows.
