    Very interesting. The software looks similar to EMC2 and it looks as if the software does all the work.

    Does it work in conjunction with a controller board or would you have to fabricate some sort of interface between the parallel connector and your stepper motors? I seen no mention of that on their site...

    We contacted this company twice early on about this cable and they never replied.
    Not sure if they ship to the US.

    Does it work in conjunction with a controller board? yes would be my guess because something other than a para cable has to carry the steppers current.
