Which programming method did you use, parallel or serial cable? If
you used the serial cable and the device programmed successfully (no
errors from the IDE and you watched the download progress bar move
left to right) then the OOPic itself is working.

With the parallel cable, programming will almost always succeed
because the cable programs the EEPROM while holding the OOPic in
reset. Successful programming of the EEPROM says nothing about the
state of the OOPic.

Check the obvious things first: battery voltage, logic voltage (+5 on
pin 4 of either I2C connector (the white 5 pin connectors) relative to
ground on pin 2. This is a different voltage regulator than the one
that supplies the outer two pins of the IO header. You might as well
check that voltage as well - say adjacent to IOLine 1.

You did install Port95NT.exe before installing the IDE, right?
