DanielB 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Does anyone know where I can find a 12' parallel port cable for my copam? None of the electronic stores carry a double male end cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chefgary 4 Posted February 27, 2009 There is a limit as to how long, before you start losing data, you can run a parallel cable under windows. I can't remember right off how long though. Maybe that is why you can't find one. Gary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanielB 0 Posted February 27, 2009 Does the serial to usb work good for you? I have heard some complaints on here about a usb. I just cant find a male/male serial cable. I found a 10' on ebay for about 10 Bucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chefgary 4 Posted February 28, 2009 Believe it or not, I set my notebook running vista on a usb last summer and haven't had a single problem. I know I am one of the lucky ones. It took a little while to get it figured out but it works fine. I would give it a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
