Will the HP1284 Parallel EIO card work with Mach3 output for a CNC machine?

Is there any parallel port addition to the HP computer which will work for CNC carving?

There is not any way I am aware of to connect the HP1284 Parallel EIO card  with the I/O options available in your desktop PC.

 

What you will need is a PCIe x1 Parallel port DB25 card.

 

Your PC does have an unused PCIe x1 slot that can be used to add a parallel port DB25 interface to your desktop PC
.

Setting up a MACH3 controller is something you have to find the answer to on YouTube or in an appropriate CNC forum.
