One thing I would like to comment on a Parallel Port on the newer computers. Some mother boards actually have a Parallel port on them but NO Cable / DB25 connector output to the case.
I have 3 different computers that have this and I found some cables from "cables to go" that plug right into the MB and mounts to the computer case giving me a standard DB-25 Parallel Port. You can look in your Hardware and see if you see in the Device Manager (COM & LPT) a "Printer Port (LPT1)" then chances are YOU HAVE a Parallel port already. Now you want to pop the case and look and see if you have Pin's in your motherboard where the "LPT" is located if you do then your ALL set, just order up a Cable from your Mother board manufacture or Possible "Cables to Go" Plug it in, Mount the DB25 in the back of the case and your done. Hope this helps some one out. 73's Bret WX7Y -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of William Evans Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2011 5:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Flexradio] Parallel Port for F3K My computer does not have a parallel port which I need to get the band information out to antenna and amplifier switches. I need ABCD info to come out of the computer when I use my 3K. Has anyone had any luck with this device?: http://www.piexx.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=12 I could purchase a parallel port card, but the last one I got did not work, so I am asking before purchasing anything this time.
