Joe,
Truthfully can't answer this question at this time.
Using laptop with parallel port is a no no but the USB card 'should' be OK.
So far although we have two cards neither has been tested because I'm in the process of converting a manual mill to CNC and it will be used on this, probably about 2 weeks away from testing given this has to fit in with my regular work.

It will be tested on a Dell to start as the 'test bench ' is so equipped but I'm also interested in seeing if the laptop will run it OK
