Running TL v2.13 USB question

microELVIS · 04-20-2007, 08:27 PM

I found that running TurboLink v2.13 in a dos screen on xp seems to work. My question is hooking it up to the usb port on a laptop. Has anyone found a 25pin to usb adapter cable that works ? I have done this with a 9pin serial cable with wideband software but never a parallel connector.

The 9pin cable came with a driver, the 25pin adapter i found doesnt seem to have a driver available. The cable I saw was from tigerdirect.

turbolink.com You should be able to ask Ken about the connector. He will help you out.

You need a usb to parallel adapter. Here is a link for one at Cables to Go:
Cables To Go - PORT AUTHORITY USB IEEE-1284 PARALLEL PRINTER ADAPTER CABLE

It's a pretty good price too.
Hope this helps

Yes exactly, only that was a printer adapter, but I know exactly what you are getting at. I'm reallly just wondering if a driver is needed with the cable so it will work.

Thanks for the replies....
