Cables for modified toucam

I'm after the cable(s) that is/are used to connect a long exposure toucam to laptop that doesn't have a parallel interface.

Hi Dan
Have you already modified your webcam or you are planning to modified. I was also going for parallel port option but then found that most of cable sold for usb to parallel conversion are only for parallel printer. so i modified using serial interface which works with usb to serial converter. So if you havent modified yet, check serial interface option.

Thanks for that Arif. I have the opportunity to get an Atik 1HS II mono camera. This is basically a modified toucam with a cooling option and is more sensitive compared to the toucam. This camera has a parallel cable. I do have an unmodified toucam and may go down the path of getting it modified but the Atik is a cheaper option at the moment.
