I hope someone can point me in the right direction, but does anyone have an ideas on how to find a plastic insert I can put on the side of my control box for the parallel port off the BOB? I would like to have it be a port I can attach directly to, as most computers are now, but I have heard multiple people say NOT to ground it to the case, as that would do, so I need some plastic interface that will get attached to the case, with the printer port extending through it to be plugged into from the outside. Any suggestions or places to look? I am trying to sort through some computer websites, but I'm on Dial-Up, so any assistance at all would be tremendously helpful. Couldn't find anything searching through here either. Am I the only one doing this? Does everyone else just have a cable that goes to their computer?
And because I know it will get brought up, I already have a plastic cover to slip over the port so when the computer cable isn't connected, I won't get dust ingress that way.
Is there another major reason why people don't do it this way? Thoughts? Comments? Rotten fruit?
