Lcd Smartie Without Parallel onboard

Post by joneco »

Hi, i want to buy a 20x4 LCD and connect to windows (maybe xp or seven). But i'm very confused about how i can do that. Since we now new MotherBoards does not have parallel ports, mine too.
So i was thinking to buy a Parallel to usb cable, but i read that this does not work. So i'm thinking to buy an pci parallel card in dealextreme or ebay. I just wanna know if it will work. If not there is another option to use LCD in pc? I saw one usb module but was really expensive.
Thanks :arrow:
