PCI I/O cards are pretty common. One brand I remember seeing is Lava. They definitely have parallel adapters. I'm 99% sure the pport cards were available for PCI. MacOS probably wouldn't want to have anything to do with them, as usual, but this shouldn't stop Linux from using them. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
