Hi,

I do guide with the parallel port and before that direcslty through the RS232 port. No difference at all.

I have to admit that I have never guided trough USB but what should be better using USB ?

From my point of view ? Nothing.

Just to shot a few commands through a cable in order to get the mount moving faster or slower ?

By the way I use also the parallel port to control the shutter of my DSLR at the same time as I am guiding. No collisions at all. As Shoestring says it is a Pass through adapter and you just have to take care to use for other controlling software the free pins of the parallel port.

If you have a parlallel port use it and spare the USB port for other things.

Just my 2 cents
