    Doddy,
    Using parallel ports has to be on the way out, it's still a cheap starting option for amateurs but it can't last. Trouble is there are now several other options available at various price levels with no clear winner for the inexperienced to choose.

    Engineering is the art of doing for ten shillings what any fool can do for a pound. :-)

    And for those of us who only have ten shillings available for this specific part of the project, the seventeen-and-sixpence solution is not an option. And having now totally confused all of our non-UK readers and all of our under-50-yearold UK readers, I'm done for today.
