|
|
I'm thinking about buying an MD flash kit but I'm worried about the parallel transferring since I'm using XP and don't have any port like that on my computer. Would a USB to parallel cord work fine for this purpose, I assume it "emulates" such a connection? Should I get a PCI card with a parallel port on it?
I wish it could just take SD cards :/ |

I would look for an older PC to use. They are cheap. A lot of people have had no luck with the PCI cards |

So, I take it then that the USB-to-parallel won't work? |

Unfortunately no. I really wish we could just use SD cards too. It would be so much easier and more reliable. |
