Got meself an early birthday gift - and MPG3 and a CNC4PC C22 nterface board to go with so's I can plug it into my second parallel port. My question is, since there ain't no holes in the board, what do you guys that have this setup do with the damn C22 board? Stuff it in a shoe box? Heat shrink around the board? Superglue it to the wall?
There's a 5' USB cable used to supply 5VDC power to the relay and to the card, so that somewhat limits how far I can move it from the PC, unless I buy a wall wart or something, but then I'm still limited by the parallel cable from the PC to the C22 card, unless I either buy another longer cable or make one. Gawd, have you guys tried to find a parallel cable that is DB25 to DB25 male to female in any store lately? All you get is blank stares, or "well, you can use this USB conversion box." Uh, no I can't... Finally found a cable in a little mom and pop computer store hidden away in the back of a strip plaze. It was used, so he sold it to me for $5. Helluva good deal!
