My short research so far leads me to want to investigate using the printer port, feeding the signals through a black box (with circuit board) and then to the particular units I wish to control. Although adding another hardware component to the path this might simplify the Rev work.
Glad to have your experience and knowledge on board.

Mark M,
I don't know how related this might be but I have been playing with robot controllers and X10 stuff for a while and also with Telescope software. Anyway, One thing I have found for any serial devices is that the key serial to usb issue is using the Kensington "High Speed" serial adapter. I tried all kinds of other adapters for serial to USB but that is the only one that works right. I also use Virtual PC and it recognizes the high speed serial adapter for my GPS etc....
The other adapters would work sometimes and others not and this lesson was hard come by for me. FWIW
I know if you are using an old mac that you are looking for ADB but I don't know where or what to look for for that. I did splice and rewire a few serial adapters and I think I remember splicing a 25 foot ADB once that 'they' said shouldn't work for my web cam, but it did.
I am going to research this as well. I want to do some metal etching and clay/cement/stone etching with at least an XY controller.
Thanks
Tom
