Doh!
It's been a while since I used these.
I was slightly wrong; actually both the 232 and 245 devices can be
accessed either via a serial port interface (COMx on windows, /dev/??? on
linux etc.) or via a direct API.
The 245 provides a parallel FIFO and the 232 a serial data link, so you'd

Soren,
I don't know about the USB parallel port converters but there are
variousways you can add USB connectivity yourself.
A simple way are the USB devices from FTDI
(http://www.ftdichip.com/FTProducts.htm)
Either the FT232R or the FT245R. These are both single chip solutions

Hey Diez, thanks for your answer!

That was my thought too, and that's
