Hello all,

I'm trying to get a older machine to work. But it has a parallel port interface an I couldn't find parallel port under "Connection Manager"...
Is there a chance to talk to this machine?

many greetings,
Flex

Hi, unfortunately megunolink does not support that kind of connection. Maybe an arduino can be used to bridge the parallel port to a standard serial port?

Hi Flex,
you may try a Parallel to serial or Parallel to USB converter depending on your hardware and your project, you may find many types on the internet for about 10-15 USD.
All the best
