Why don't you want to use a parallel port controller? If you don't have one on your computer (my laptop doesn't) you can get a dock that will plug into your USB. I just bought a Belkin USB2 Dockstation on eBay for about $25, though I've seen them go for much cheaper. I'm sure there are other solutions.
Other than Deskcnc (serial), most of the (cheaper) controllers used by folk on this board are parallel ported. |
