The problem isn't the cable but the software. What program do you use,
X1541, Trans64 or The Star Commander.
The last two should work with the P-Overdrive but the first one wouldn't (I
think)
Also you should get the latest Version of Trans64 (1.24) or SC (0.71).

The IDE-port has nothing to do with the LPT. The problem is the spped of
your new overdrive.

You have to change the Delay. Start SCC and compare rthe value with the one
set in SC.
