    Parallel card ok on xylotex and gecko?

    My mill comp is on its last legs. MoBo issues. And I am having a bear of a time finding a new one with a Parallel port. I have Xylotex drive right now, but will be upgrading to Gecko's. Do these LPT cards work well with Mach 3? Or do I need to search for a Mobo with Parallel port?
