You are of course welcome. This programmer is designed to get new users in the
game fast and cheap. 30 minutes to wire, 10 minutes to test. Programming in
less than an hour. But you've been at this for weeks. I just feel really bad
about it.

I have one more test if possible: test on another computer. It is possible that
something funky's going on with the parallel port. I had one user who told
me it worked on one port and not on another until they moved the DATA IN
to pin 11 (busy) instead of pin 10 (ack) on the parallel port.

Just hand in. We will find a way to get this to work.

Where are you located? If worst comes to worst I'll solder one up for you,
test it, and then ship it to you.
