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

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?

I have been using Flowol 4 to control my 9751/9701s for some time. I have just spotted this as a result of trying to figure out Robolab 2.9 which I just acquired. This Control Lab download works fine on my XP box with a Startech (Prolific) adapter, Null Modem cable and a gender bender adapter. Great to finally see the real software for this stuff. Now to try get that Interface A running.

That plan of attack failed now to try one of these converters: http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/bastelecke/Rund%20um%20den%20PC/USB2LPT/liste.en.htm

I am hoping the Startech USB to Parrallel Adapter will do the trick. Otherwise I am a little scuppered since I have no means of connecting the D25M to 20pin ribbon cable to my laptop. Once this is tested I can then figure out how to write something like the Original Lego Lines app that I have seen referenced in my 1455 Teachers pack. C

No idea, but I do have both a 1090 and a 1092 set with a raft of 1030/32/34s to hookup! Balance are for sale on bricklink in my shop A Hard Days Brick.

I now have six of the Interface A units having 0 just over two weeks ago. I also have a raft of the Bs. I'm keen to get the As up and running and would welcome the opportunity to discuss the wheres and whys if thats possible. Regards Carl brickmaster@aharddaysbrick.com
