- Its possible to control the G-Lock from the parallel port. If one has the
- lastest software, the docs or readme file on the distribution disk, describes
- how to use this option.
-
- From what I understand, the Neptun genlock is pretty good. Certainly better
- than the G-Lock. I haven't witnessed its performance, as its not available
- here in the U.S.
-
- A Neptun EX is included with MM400.
