    Stupid question of the week

    I have a Minitech that I bought used. My computer has a female parallel port as was standard. The control box has a female parallel port also!

    My trouble is being able to find either a cable with two male ends or a sex change adapter. Am I missing something?

    TIA

    Thanks for the responses! Turns out the third Radio Shack (and only one I didn't make it to yesterday) in town had one in stock!
