[time-nuts] OT - USB to LPT Adapter - Does it exist?

[Alan Melia]

I dont have the reference in front of me but it might just be worth checking 
the article archive for the Elektor magazine.....I have a vague feeing I 
might have seen something there. Many of their past projects have used the 
LPT as a programmable port. There should be an article index on their web 
site I think.
