    It is a USB plug. Like the Advanced Willem EPROM blowers you can build it uses the rather handy +5V at 500mA available from a USB port for power. Sadly, there's no USB controller present on board so it needs the parallel port for data transfer. You could build a parallel-to-USB adaptor on to the circuit board, but then it's not quite as easy a build.
