2nd Parallel Port PCI Card (Recommendations)

[Helicopterjohn]

I am currently updating my Shopbot PRT will all new electronics.

I wish to add a second Parallel Port Card to my Windows computer running XP (via a PCI Slot).

I would like to know if anyone here has installed such a card with success and what brand, make, model and vendor source they used to purchase it.  Associated cost would be nice if known.

Thanks,

John

The A25 is a reasonable priced card http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/product_info.php?products_id=250 from those who understand CNC.

John,

Here is one that seems highly recommended. I bought one from NewEgg, as Tiger Direct didn't have it.

I can't comment on it because my retrofit isn't far enough along.

Here is the Newegg link:

Hope this helps,

Jack

i've used a variety of different cards from the cheapest £1.99(far eastern origin) to a whopping £25.99(novatech), and they've all worked.
