Ok so I have a project from qsl net, a wobbultator by phsoft / Dr. Peter Halický, OM3CPH.
This software uses a pc with a parallel port to control a Ad9850 dds, I want to run this on my laptop, when I do it comes up with a load of errors, it looks as though its trying to access a parallel port that isnt there (my laptop doesnt have a parallel).
Is there any chance I could get one of these usb to parallel ports and get the thing to work or am I wasting my time.
The device uses the control pins on the port rather than the data pins for its i/o.
