My software installed from the dvd, I went thru the procedure and tried to remove the dvd, it wouldnt operate?? I used a bent wire to pull it out after power down, rebooted and it came up on the screen, this is as far as I have gotten.

I have a question, is the printer plug supposed to be connected to the new mesa card?

There is no mention of it in the instruction sheet.

I believe the new Mesa FPGA card drives all of the output signals, so I would think the parallel cable would definitely need to be connected to the Mesa card not the onboard parallel port (if there is one).

yes, it does mention it in the draft manual you can download from Tormach's web site.
