The old url broke, making the answer even worse. atleas the first link is fixed. the driver link aswell.

His english page here notes "Contrary to all other USB→Parallel adapters which can connect to printers only, this makes connection to most hardware - without adapting the software! A parallel port will be virtualized by the accompanying driver. " and he provides the driver source code, so you will be able to bypass the hardware by modifying the source code. | |

Such as you cannot use FPGA parallel programming cables and such with a printer port. If you get to wanting hardware and your laptop has an ExpressCard slot, then look for a PCI-Express based (NOT USB based) parallel port card for that. I've got one that also has two serial ports, which also saved me in a class using an old Rabbit processor board and my usual USB-serial adaptor was not compatible with the Rabbit stuff. | |

Asking such a question at electronics forum gives you answers you saw. | |
| Jan 11, 2012 at 3:47 | comment | added | The Photon | What do you mean by a pure software solution? How can software cause 5 V to appear on a pin on a wire that doesn't exist? | |
