Found a source for genuine FTDI USB TTL-232R-3V3 cables that's even cheaper than Mouser, Digikey, etc. They're currently $16.50 and First Class shipping is very reasonable.

PCI Parallel Card Needed

Hello all,

Having recently upgraded my audio processor, Bluray player, and video monitor, I need to reprogram my venerable RS 15-1994 to use with my new gear. I have a parallel JP1 adapter that I bought from Hovisdirect back in 2002 and have not had to use it in the last 5 years. I've since ...
