Be wary of the adapters on ebay and amazon - they are only for printers and do not necessarily provide full two way communication.? The G8KBB adapter and software work.? I recently tested my unit.

I recall a Parallel to USB conveter on Ebay or Amazon that used the Cypress chip. When I get home I will try to find the information.

Thanks Vladamir,
I am wading through it - just trying to sort out what I need and what is
extra.
It is a great piece of gear and I would like to get it going again.

Have you checked the G8KBB page?
All you need is still available there.
Just don't give up, great piece of hardware!

Subject: [N2PK-VNA] Parallel port to USB Advice on Options to adapt
I have a parallel port N2PK VNA circa 2009-ish, I need to interface to
usb. Looking at options it appears an option from elrasoft.com built on
the CY7C68013(A) with a header to parallel port PC or wiring harness might
fit the bill from a hardware side.
Software and driver side - I am unclear on options to either develop or
utilize a driver already compiled with the newer elrasoft.com board
options. Note sure who is still around or if this group has any active
members. Would appreciate a reply if you are active even if you don't have
the answers I am searching for. While my current hope is a W11 PC I hope
to
have soon a XP laptop with a true parallel port to tinker with, so my VNA
journey may progress on XP but I would like to migrate to W11.
