So I have an oldish PC that I got with my Emco Lathe. Its slow and can do with an upgrade. The issue is parallel port needed.

I found this - http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/7453-...-parrelel-port (see, I did search) however that talks about newer controllers.

What are my options for either a new PC of sorts with a parallel port? Am I better off getting another controller? I dont know what make is in the machine at the moment but its probably a fair cheap / standard type device. The machine uses steppers for X, Y and the toolchanger.

Thanks
