hey guys i was wondering if there was a way for me to use codevision with a notebook without a parallel port using a parallel to usb cable.
I am using an at90s8515 microcontroller board. Thanks!

Easiest way to program an AVR is using a parallel port. I use it without any circuitry between, only some wires.
If no parallel port available, the solution is USB2LPT, you can see in community projects. However, to build your own USB2LPT, you need a parallel port or another USB2LPT to program the ATmega8 chip used for your USB2LPT.
