just to make it clear, I am a newbie, and I really need some help. I am trying to output an 8bit signal from my jitter patch to a parallel port. I am thinking about using a simple usb to parallel cable with my macbook pro...question is, how do I send the signal to the appropriate usb out?...and how do I make sure the signal is in 8 bit?...is this even possible without buying an external board?

To be more specific, I am doing a project similar to Snoil 

http://www.digital.udk-berlin.de/en/projects/winter0405/main/hauptprojekt/snoil.html

using video instead of snake on a dot matrix display. The display is made of a thin layer of magnetic liquid controlled by electromagnets. I have someone else building the board for the electromagnets, but it is 8 bits, I need some way to get out from my jitter patch to 8bit, preferably parallel.

My signal is a 10x10 B/W video matrix. so far I have a patch that gives me the pixels in order, then a 1 or 0 for black or white. my issue is getting it out of my computer to the board in 8 bits.
