Vinyl cutters / parallel port hard lock

hey guys,



currently building a Mac Pro as a present for my dad actually, he's a novice pc user, always ends up calling me with a new popup or virus on his computer (don't you love windows)



he's a graphic designer/artist, and does the majority of his work using photoshop, and his vinyl cutting program (signmax)



his plotter is a roland camm-1 which operates via serial port and parallel port

there is a hardlock installed on the parallel port to permit the signmax program to work



Now, I'd eventually like for him to use this Mac Pro full time, but yes I'll need to source a mac version of signmax (if even it exists..)



And the other problem is a parallel port on a Mac Pro. I've just received a pci-e parallel port + serial port card today (10$ on ebay), fingers crossed it'll be picked up in os-x and likely work in windows.



So, question for you, any vinyl cutting people here? anyone have mac software recommendations ? any feedback would be great!
