Questions & Answers

The pin that is "1" on this cable is obvious, but I can't tell which pin is the same on my HP SFF laptop. Can you help?

In 99.99% of cases, pin 1 is located at the end of the motherboard where the connector label ("LPT1" or similar) is silkscreened.

It is not possible to use the full length bracket
4/5

If you have LPT1 pins on your motherboard and an open slot, this card is easy to install. Despite its short length, the bar only measures about 3 inches. were thinking of adding a zip drive to a Windows 10 machine, you will not be able to do that since Windows 10 does not support zip. The XP version of Microsoft Windows supports zip, and Linux supports zip as well (at least, it does in Mint).

My job involved a VFD with an LPT port on an old case I recently refinished A friend of mine built their HTPC in a DSL modem I'm gonna show you the There is a VFD with an LPT connection that is meant to go to the motherboard's rear I/O
4/5

The motherboard I used, the Intel 68010, has the connectivity you need.

In some cases, which depend on the motherboard, this may not be the best bet, for example when I use it with my CNC lathe on Linux
5/5

A software package called CNC (EMC2). As a result, I did not have to change the header on my motherboard, and I got Please take precaution According to the motherboard, it just breaks out what is available for use. In my case, it was three. I was able to make it work with 3v, which worked for me with the controller board. In the case where you require 5v outputs, the above may not be the best option for you.

I made it work
5/5

I made it work. An old computer had an onboard LPT port. This allowed me to use Mach3 on the parallel port to control the laser cutter.

I give it five stars
5/5

The extension port works as intended. I'm using it to extend the parallel port header on the motherboard of my CNC machine.

The one is not the one The conversion rate was 1
3/5

Maybe one of the pins on an IDC-type circuit While the pinout of 26 isn't standardized, if you go from top to bottom left to right, you will see that it does not match a DB-24 Please know that this will circulate counter to what you intend As a result, this is probably the only way to build a cable like this, but it would be nice if the pinouts of the cable were described.
