Interface A

[Dial222]

Just wondering if anyone managed to get one of these plugged in to a modern laptop with a commercial adapter or links to a home brew kit?

Do you mind being more specific...?

@ Dial222: Since you participated in a similar Eurobricks topic in Nov 2011, did you not try Tom Cook's link to make a "custom Parallel Port cable" for your Lego Dacta Interface A? Click on the "Technic Interface A" link at the left side of this webpage, and scroll halfway down to see the details:

Hi

Yup I did get one of those made but no tango unfortunately. Some issue with the parallel to USB adapter I imagine. Is there a special trick with the adapters? I wonder if anyone has figured that part.

Cheers

I did try to get the USB to Parallel to work but no go. Your going to really struggle on this I believe as most model OS's don't allow direct connection to the parallel port (I could be wrong, just something I read)

If you do manage to get it working, do let me know!
