You can use a std parport breakout, a 26 pin IDC connector (plugged onto the P2 connector along the top edge of the 5i25) on one end of a 26 wire ribbon cable, with a std IDC DB-25 crimped on the other end of a few inches of cable, and mount it in an empty cabinet card slot. Adjacent to the 5i25 if you have a backplane slot to spare. Unforch, the ARK cases I have, have only one slot, and the 5i25 uses it, so the extra port, when I use it, is fed out thru a slot I machined in the plastic side panel, hanging free. Ugly but usable. > On 7/24/2014 2:17 PM, andy pugh wrote: > > On 24 July 2014 20:12, Marius Liebenberg <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I am going to put the stepper on the parport with a cheap bob.
