Oh, that's good to know! I wondered why there's still tons of cnc stuff
that has a parallel interface. I guess it's probably because people made a
crapload of parallel interface boards, and they're going to sell them
regardless of whether it's actually the best method or not.
Good to know someone actually did it the smart way! Will definitely keep
this in mind if I ever get around to building or buying a CNC machine.
