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

[Damien Gardner Jnr]

Ahh, I love having emails dating back to the dark ages - just found  
all my working notes from when i'd had to reverse engineer the DB25  
pins on the radios, and the software as well :)  Might have to fire  
one or two up on the weekend, and see if they're still good!   Then  
see about some kind of pic-controlled head unit for them :)

We rode on the winds of the rising storm,
  We ran to the sounds of thunder.
We danced among the lightning bolts,
  and tore the world asunder
