Well, the options I have are PS/2, EPP, ECP, AT
Which one is bidirectional?
edit, so far i tested:
ps/2, epp, at - all no worky
edit2: right now im testing ecp, if this doesnt work i think im gonna open the adapter up and checkout the stuff, maybe replace the resistors if they're easy assessable
edit3: okay so all of the modes give me that error

- time to open it up?
edit4 - okay so i opened it up, and the resistors&diode are really tucked away, no way i can do anything to em
