It depends on what you want to do with the parallel port. If you are using "loadrt hal_parport": http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/hal_parallel_port.html in your .hal file to create software generated steps, PWM, or digital I/O, then most any card will do. For this sort of thing I use tend to use these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815166007 but there are many to choose from. If you have a Pluto, Pico or Mesa FPGA signal generator that uses EPP, then there are very few cards that will work. We are in the process of putting a list together now. I have this one on order: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158040 and will know how it works soon. Otherwise, many motherboard parallel ports work okay. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
