How does this bode for connecting to a pc running EMC?
They tried selling me a 350 euro kit for conversion from parallel to serial, and 150 euro software for it.
I think ill go with the 0 euro upgrade to EMC, if I can

A laptop might not have a parralle port but a desktop most likely will. I have never played with EMC but its a Linux distribution. I dont know how straightforward the install and use of it is, but if you dont have any background in using Linux it might take some time and be a pain to set up.
