No, servos require a motion controller, and a PC on its own IS NOT a motion controller. You need to add software like LinuxCNC, then the PC behave as a motion controller with its output
at the parallel port into which you'd plug your breakout board. If you wish to use Windows OS then you'd choose Mach(3 or 4) or UCCNC, but then you'd have to use and external motion
control board like an Ethernet SmoothStepper ($190) or a UC300 ($160) in addition to your breakout board. Note that Mach and UCCNC are both commercial software and you have to pay for them.
