No! there is NO error in the PCB, the mistake is all
mine. A female connector was used instead of the
male one I expected (which would have made it possible
to plug the programmer directly into the parallel
port of a laptop).
Sorry for any incovenience caused by my silly mistake
and "Besserwisser" mail.
--------------------------------------------------
I can report that the programmer is working 100% OK,
and I definitely recommend it.
There was a couple of software problems, but Octavio
fixed them both within a day or two and mailed the new
software. Great support, that.
If anyone plans to build the programmer, the schematic,
Windows software and PCB layout (by Jakob Blichfeldt) can be
found at:

I added a power-on/off switch on my card, since the
programming voltages are on while win95 is loading.
