    Compatible with the latest version of what? I thought you wanted to use PK51 version 6.20? This version is older than 23 years. It may or may not work with today's Windows 10/11 versions, but most likely it will not work. You could try with a Windows XP on a real PC or in a VM.

    At that time, you should have received a LPT dongle. For all Windows NT-based OSs, you need to install the Sentinel System Driver to get the LPT dongle detected. The USB to LPT adapters are not supported as far as I know, so I assume that a real LPT port in your PC would be the best choice.

    Do you still have the add-on disk and the install files?
