Subject: [Emc-users] quick question on parallel port cables
hey everyone
I found that I am missing a parallel port cable for between one of my mesa
5i25 and 7i77 cards
I am in new zealand and don't really want to buy a cable from america as
shipping is heaps just for a cable. if I buy one locally what am I looking
for?
here are some options
pbtech parallel port cable

You dont want a null modem cable and ideally you should use a IEEE-1284 cable
These are special in that each signal wire has a twisted pair ground.
I have heard that you can't use just any parallel port cable as some have
the wires crossed inside
regards
Andrew
