Just bought one of these: www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5017#ov to run my machine along with 8Gb DDR3 1600MHz memory and a Pentium G3260 LGA1150 3.30GHz CPU. I'll report back when I get everything installed.


I just tested an old IBM Thinkcentre and found out it won't do for LinuxCNC (worked OK for Mach3) so I'm looking for the best deal on this combination. Thanks for the info.
New XYZ-Carve deserves a new machine. :)

I just received my motherboard shown on LinuxCNC latency-test page: "ASRock E350M1 mini-itx - AMD Dual-Core Zacate E350/E350D APU 1.6GHz" , but I was stunned to see that it hasn't a parallel internal port, but has does a male LPC connector socket, that I have no idea how get the signal to my Router. Guys any help will be welcome and very appreciated.

If you mean it has a female D25 output, lots of boards including Mesa do, it is safer, just get a gender changer

Thank you ArcEye, I'll upload a picture later because is a bit difficult to me explain what kind of connector it is (LPC non LPT)
I saw the LinuxCNC latency motherboard list and I trusted thinking it had the port for parallel.

That seems to be a serial port header. The specification makes no mention of a parallel port :(

www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/E350M1USB3/?cat=Specifications

The PCI slots eems to be a PCI-e x16 rather than a conventional PCI slot, so I am not sure that a cheap parallel port card is the answer either.

I just checked, and PCI-e parallel port cards exist:
www.ebay.it/itm/Sienoc-1xPorta-PCI-E-a-D...?hash=item4d31ff7a1e

Despite the fact that it is a long 16x sot, the short 1x cards ought to work:
it.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express

A large proportion of LinuxCNC users do not use the parallel port, so that might explain why the board had good latency numbers but no mention of the lack of p-port.

Incidentally, instead of the Parallel port card, you could consider a Mesa card, though those are quite a lot more expensive.

This is the LPC internal port: imgur.com/jjJ7OOq

Explain me please how I can post a picture... :(

Not what I was expecting, it only has 13 pins :(

In theory you should be able to connect to that to create a parallel port:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Pin_Count
But in practice I am not sure that you can.

I think it will be simpler to use the PCI-e connector.
