Wow, was I surprised at my local Best Buy Today!!!!
My old control computer running Mach 3 finally expired yesterday (RIP) and I was going to bite the dust today and replace it with a new (low cost) Gateway, HP or Compaq. Anyway, I selected the system all and noticed on the specificaiton sheet "parallel port = 0". Shore enuf, I flipped it around and nutten but USB. My friendly clerk almost convinced me to purchas it and a $35 USP to parallel converter but the connector was the old centronics type which would have been yet another converter.
Anyway, I got to thinking about it and said the magic words to the clerk helping me!! "I'll be Back".
Has anyone used a USB to parallel converter with mach 3???? And, is anyone using a gateway notebook for a control system.
Thanks in advance.
Bill
