    Smile 9 pin serial port to parrallel port

    I want to run mach3 through a breakout board which needs a parallel printer port, my computer only has a 9 pin serial port, will a adapter cable from the 9 pin serial port to a parallel port work if so how do I get the breakout board to recognize this port. Or do I have to get a new pci card which has a parallel port.
    regards Eric

    You will have to get a PCI card with a parallel port.
