You will need the very latest Deltadash software to work through an adapter. The older software don't like adapters. A cheap laptop with parallel port is your most reliable option.

A "Dongle" doesn't have to be USB, as many of the older (and probably a fair few younger) members will confirm.

A quick google for "dongle" comes up with Software protection dongle as the very first hit, so i guess that you have to enter into a bit of negotiation with the seller or buy some more hardware (or maybe even speak to Ecutek?).
