Most of the older ones did not work, as they needed drivers.
The ones we have bought on ebay worked well, had a port number and so on.

I have just bought 10x PCI-E for a device we have out in the wild, the reason the usb devices get lost.

the cost was about $5 each.

Hello,

will also run on Cypress CY7C68013A Evalboards which You may get cheap on E.ay.
I have tested the driver but not yet with a galep connected.

Hi, i'm interested also, in the past i'm contacted directly contitec (german and us) they said me that the usb to parallel port are very too slow and galep will lost communication, it only works with native lpt, pcmcia or pci express adpte,, if you brought some interface that works well please can you give me some infos?

Hi,

I previously owned a Galep 4. I was in direct contact with conitec and they also told me, that there is no usb parallel adapter outside that works with the galep4.

In the microcontroller.net forum, there is some type of Exppress card adapter from Delock that are working.
I bought the Delock 66203 adapter and then It works on my old laptop.

Finally, I decided to upgrade to a Galep 5. The Delock 66203 adapter stopped working under Windows 7 x64
