Slow transfer with Flash Advance Linker

I just got my Flash Advance Linker and 64M card from www.divineo.uk, great service guys, got it next day.
Anyway, my concern is that I can't transfer from my PC to the card at anything other than speed number 1 when I set my LPT to EPP (either 1.7 or 1.9). If I use anything other than 1 the transfer fails immediately. If I use other modes (ECP, SPP) speed 4 works, but I don't think the speed setting does anything in modes other than EPP. I am using a brand new set of Duracell Ultra batteries and the db25 cable that was supplied with the kit. The transfers work fine at 1 speed, but it would be nice to be able to use 4 as a 64M card is taking me around 7-8 mins to transfer. Anyone have a solution to this problem? My system is an Abit VP6 running dual P3 933 processors on Windows 2000.
Cheers

Probably a low quality DB25 cable, and the batteries don't help, get a PSU.
On a Cyrix 200 it takes just 3mins maximum to send a 64mbit game, with a high quality cable at speed 3.
With a low quality cable it takes around 4-5mins at speed 2 (speed 3 won't work with the cheap cable).

Thanks, I was hoping it was that. Today I got myself and gender bender and plugged the flash linker straight into my LPT with no cable and it works fine at speed 4. Took around 3 mins for a 64M game, excellent!
All is well
