Correct. That's still the plan. > and I'm reading that you have a USB parallel printer interface, which > you have seen is not the same thing. Let's put the engineering caps on! It was a lengthly post, so you may have missed it, but I explained that the only reason why I was exploring the USB option was for the convenience of prototyping the interface using my desktop, rather than the MythTV server located in my basement. (See quote above.) I also noted that I anticipated issues with a USB parallel adapter. Still, I was curious to find out what those issues would be. Now I know. And so I shared that. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
