I will give it a go with that. I want to first see how easily i can use the system before I go and buy too many items.

I hope it will work through that cable, anyone out there tried?
Hi,
I don't think that will work. You have to use the parallel port and use some specific mode in BIOS for that, I think it was EEP, but I'm not sure about that, you have to find out the details.
Anyway, USB with USB exp card is much more convenient and more reliable.

FYI: IOcards are already available for at least three years, there are hundreds of users world wide. I use two USB exp cards, 4 Master Cards, 5 DisplayII cards and several break-out boxes for easy wiring (recommended!). I have bought them already build and tested, no problems at all.

Cheers,
Nico
