[GLLUG] Additional Serial & Parallel Ports

[Marr]

Coincidentally, right after sending my previous message, I saw this, on a 
completely unrelated mailing list that I follow:

"The parallel port was a great tool, but these days it is more effort 
than it is worth.  Third-party parallel port boards exist, but they are 
often problematic.  One issue is that they often use non-standard port 
addresses or IRQs, or at least addresses other than the LPT1 addresses. 
Or sometimes they do use the LPT1 addresses, but the motherboard has 
claimed these for itself (even though it does not implement a parallel 
port physically).  And a lot of parallel port software is fixed for LPT1 
only."

FWIW....
