Parallel Port Upgrade

I just purchased an older used Shark machine that has the old parallel port controller. I am more interested in wood carving than electronic engineering so I was wondering if there is a way to purchase the new USB controller separately? I am really trying to get away from Mach3 which is just way too complicated. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi,
You may want to call the support number and ask the question. There is a post on this here -

Not much help at this point - sorry.

IF you have an older shark we can upgrade the electronics for you.
You can ship back your old controller to us (if possible) or we can provide you a usb to parallel hookup controller for you.
You can contact me directly at
towens@nextwaveautomation.com or call the number below.
Thanks
Tim
