Anyone ever try one?
I didn't realize until just now that my computer doesn't even have a parallel port. Of course I could another dedicated machine for a controller, but there's no denying that parallel ports days are numbered. I do like having all my software on a single laptop though.
I saw this, for $14 seems like it would work great. Essentially making your CNC USB (without a Grex). I wonder if the Address would be the same (0x378) if it doesn't have a parallel on board...or how would you get the address?
