Usb To 25 Pin 'd' Connector
« on: October 05, 2003, 01:17:00 PM »
I am just about to buy a new laptop from HP. Problem is it only has USB, which is of course the way forward but no help to me with programming my X2.2pro. Anybody know a place where I can buy a USB to 25 pin D connector adaptor that will work with my printer and the XBOX?

you need a USB to parallel converter

a company called Belkin does one as do others, and they can be had quite cheaply nowadays

it'll probably work with the xecutor2 Pro,  as the couple of USB to serial converters I have here just map the com port onto the serial port, so from the copmputers point of view it is a totally standard com port (com 5 in this case)

try it and see

good luck

Thanks Bleugh,

I will check that out. For those in the UK, I have found one from a company called CPC (www.cpc.co.uk) code CS07469.
