    Help with Laptop PC and Xylotex

    I have a laptop that does not have a parallel port. The connector on the xylotex board has pins, and I can't seem to find a cable to work with the USB. Can it even work with a USB?

    No, it has to use a parallel port. It may work with a PCMCIA parallel port card, but it would depend on the software, and there are no guarantees.

    someone at the machsupport forum has tried a bunch of pcmcia parallel port cards without any luck. Im not sure what or how he did, but he didnt come up with anything useful.
