With great thanks to Martin (BlackWidow), I have managed to get the LX mod fully functional under Windows 8.1.
The problem was indeed the parallel / serial adaptor issue. Serial is definitely required in this case.
I won't post internal pics of the mod, partly because I feel that it is Martin's to show, and partly because I am terrible with a soldering iron! A very messy worksite.
I have a attached a pic of the final cable chain, that attaches onto the camera mod adaptor. Yes, that is hot-melt glue! Cloth tape will cover that later.
Once again, many thanks for everyone's input. This crowd-sourcing of information really works nicely.
