[OZAPRS] Slightly OT: How to get a parallel port these days?

[Gary Stern]

Try to ensure you get one which is Bi-Directional.

I got caught the same as you 2 years ago for a project,
took me 3 attempts to get an adapter which would work
properly.

If I get a chance in the next few days I'll check my
storage shed, to try and find it and give you some
numbers etc....
