Most PC's have a printer port, it is the 9pin serial port that has pretty much been dropped.

My CNC is controlled by an old PC. It was probably one of the last ones made without a USB port. I could buy a USB card for about $30. Then I could use a flash drive (instead of floppys) to move data from another computer upstairs. But maybe I should just buy a new low end cmputer. I use a Bob Campbell breakout board with a parallel cable. Do today's computers have parallel ports or only USB ports? If they don't have parallel ports can I adapt the Campbell bb to USB? Thanks

The only way to do that is to use a SmoothStepper in between them. www.warp9td.comOriginally Posted by IQChallenged
