Stripe Snoop :: Parallel Port Adapter (El Cheapo)
by Acidus at 11:53 am EDT, Apr 5, 2005

] Parallel Port Adapter (El Cheapo!)
]
] WARNING!
] This is a horrible hack that I happened to make work.
] Unlike the other design, this one does not use a buffer
] chip to protect your computer's parallel port or
] motherboard.
] You could very well fry/destroy your computer doing this!
] Proceed at your own risk!
] I used an Omron V3A-4K for this Mod. I assume this will
] work with any reader from the V3A family. (Remember, V3B
] readers are simply V3A readers with black cases).
] Included in instruction are hints about making this mod
] work with other readers. Please email me (Acidus @t
] msblabs.com) if you manage to make this mod work with
] other readers
]
] Want to have the parallel port based reader with out
] soldering a cumbersome design or carrying around a
] battery all the time? This parallel port adapter requires
] no external power source, no chips, really nothing at
] all. This will be used to allow a gameport-based reader
] tp be used with a parallel port.

Haven't had a new hardware design in a while, so here you go!
