I recently performed a couple of upgrades to my PC and now my X1541
cable does not work! Damn PC's!

THe upgrades were a 486SX 33mhz to a 83 mhz Pentium Overdrive
processor and a Double speed CD-Rom to a Quad Speed CD-rom with the
addition of a CD-ROM Interface Card for the IDE connection.

Based on the documentation I have been reading, I tend to think that
the interface card may be screwing up something with the Sync of the
Printer Port? Could this be? If that is the case, maybe I sould buy a
Sound Blaster Sound card which has an IDE interface on it, or would
the same results happen?

Or, does a Pentium Overdrive Processor not work with the X1541 cable.
I kinda find this hard to believe, but you never know. I have been
using Star Commander which I thought automatically configures the
timing for the PC. Do I need to slow the PC down? If so what is the
best way.

Any Help would be appreciated as I am sure my wife will not let me put
the old parts back in the Computer! .

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.
