A while back I posted in some detail of problems I was having getting
a 120MB CMS Trakker unit to work.  Since then, I sent it back to CMS
for them to take a look at it.  The customer service in this firm is
first rate, and many people took a lot of time to help me with the 
problem.

The bottom line is that the problem is really not CMS's.  The unit is
very sensitive to el-cheapo serial/parallel cards, and the unit requires 
that LPT1 be properly supported with IRQ circuits and logic on the board.  
If you can't select among and between IRQs  for LPT1, your Trakker probably 
will not work.  (As an aside, I also find that such boards don't work with 
parallel port hardware locks either - or at least not reliably) 

So far I have tested
four different manufactures of cards and have found problems with three 
of them.  Once I find a solid supplier, I will let the network know.
