Re: Two parallel port breakout board
John,
If there was enough interest, Jim Cullins could design a breakout board that

Two parallel port breakout board
Hello,

If you've ever opened up a pc joystick, you wouldn't go through the bother, Industrial analog joysticks cost $$$$ if you don't need the variable rate, I have a simple circuit that lets you use n.o.

Re: Raster to Vector Converion - Try Rasterfratz
I tried Streamline and own a copy of Corel Trace. Both work but smoothing was a real

Re: Where have all my steps gone?
I'll do some more testing regarding cv or full stop.
I have my kernal speed set at 45000, would a lower speed help, hurt or make no diff?

You can use the MDI method or you can create DRO's to do the job and a
