running mach 3 with a usb to parallel adapter

I am watching videos on how to find limits and home points,so by the end of that I should have that one covered.
spindle controll is my final setting up problem. The black box that came with the Cnc has a spindle speed control pad on it, is this enough or do I have to have the spindle speed computer controlled?

There's nothing wrong with manual speed control on a machine that size. Do you know if it's got the hardware to make speed controllable from software ?
