My name is Ed Gillis from Toronto, Canada. I have just built a 2'x4' cnc router machine. The electronics and motors have not arrived yet.
I wanted to know about a USB to parallel cable but got the answer in the forum without asking. My solution was to buy a PCI parallel card and install it.

Great source.
Thanks Ed
