 Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 11:20 pm Post subject: USB to Parallel? |
 |
|
I'm thinking about buying an MD flash kit but I'm worried about the parallel transferring since I'm using XP and don't have any port like that on my computer. Would a USB to parallel cord work fine for this purpose, I assume it "emulates" such a connection? Should I get a PCI card with a parallel port on it?
I wish it could just take SD cards :/ |

| I would look for an older PC to use. They are cheap. A lot of people have had no luck with the PCI cards |

| So, I take it then that the USB-to-parallel won't work? |

| Unfortunately no. I really wish we could just use SD cards too. It would be so much easier and more reliable. |
