is part of what I was asking here. I'm going to select a serial or USB programmer
to replace the P-EPIC.

Thank you all.

HEY !

I'ts working !

For some reason the cable that worked with my laptop didn't work when I hooked to my PC. Got another printer cable as a last ditch effort "I hate to give up on anything" and it works.

The new cable also works with the laptop so I don't know if the old one has an intermitent problem or what.

I hope this might help others here avoid some trouble with their EPIC.

My sincere thanks to all those who helped me here.

Hello

Some cables do connect all ground pins together, and some don't, I had this problem before, but I didn't think you will face such a problem.
