I did the mod for this camera. I have done dozens for Matthew Lovell of Telescopes and Astronomy. Not had any issues with them working with a parallel port to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately most computers do not have these today, but a parallel/usb cable apparently works well. It may just be a Windows 8 thing. Best contact Matthew, he can probably point you in the right direction. I know it certainly works on my laptop, but that is an XP machine, this is what I used to test it, mainly because it has a parallel port on it. This enables me to test the mod to confirm that all the electronics are doing what they should.
