Not yet. Do you have any suggestions as to what I should change it to?
The choices I can see from looking at the BIOS setup are:

ECP mode
Bidirectional mode (PS/2 Compatible)
Normal mode (AT Compatible)

Yes, I'm using the Iomega-supplied cable.

It works under NT, but I don't know about DOS 'guest'. I can check.
