Registered User Posts: 1 05/19/08 11:22:02	Tags : motec, adl, usb Hi all; A buddy and I just bought a Stohr '04D set up with a MoTec ADL. Got the CAN-to-parallel port cable with it, and was wondering what others were doing for PC communications in this day of laptops without parallel ports. I tried buying a parallel to USB cable, loaded the driver and got my USB to emulate a parallel, but it wouldn't communicate with the ADL through the CAN. I see that MoTec has, for $288, a CAN-to-USB box, but was curious whether this is the only solution folks are aware of. Thanks very much for any insight here. Jeff

David Thanks--been through that--it emulates either LPT1 or LPT2 (parallel ports 1 and 2) on the USB for my XP (service pack 2) laptop--tried both, neither works. The MoTec software says either parallel port should work. I'm starting to think that emulation through an adapter just isn't going to work, unfortunately. Guess it's time to call MoTec.
