Question

Hi All,

I'm after a PCI card (for a PC) that has a parallel port on it to give the PC a second printer port.

I know such a thing exists as I've found a few on the 'net but only in the USA.

Can anybody find me one from a UK source that I can order over the 'net ? I've drawn blanks.

If relevent it is going on a Windows 98 and Widnows ME (dual boot) system.

Cheers

Ian

I bought mine a couple of years ago in one of my least favorite shops in the world - PC World. About £18. Works a treat - have a laser printer on LPT1: and a colour inkjet on the (new) LPT2:

Easy to pick up locally - even your local MAPLINS should have one in.

Even if you could find a simple ISA one, as the PCI ones are more expensive.

Doh !!

Didn't think of PC World etc, didn't think they would do them. However, Maplins is a good call, I'll check with them.

Afraid it has to be PCI, no ISA slots on this machine (very new).

Cheers
