    Although this bit implies its output is the same pinout as the parallel port:

    The branded software enables one to use the I/O ports of the
    controller in MACH3 instead of computer built-in LPT ports. If you
    were earlier using a computer LPT port to connect drivers, you will
    need to disconnect the connector from the computer LPT port, connect
    it to the PLCM controller and install the appropriate plug-in
    for MACH3.
    Each controller has at least one port completely matching the
    physical LPT port.
    If so that sounds like a good idea if you've already make your control box. Just plug this in between and go.

    Still not liking mainly the lack of information about the interface/software/drivers but also the 100KHz limitation and only being compatible with Mach3.
