My Dell Inspiron laptop has 3 different parallel port<br>
|
||
options which can be chosen among in the Setup BIOS. A just<br>
|
||
bought Digital Research Tech DRSCAN30EPP runs under Win95/98<br>
|
||
with the EPP choice of the parallel port. <br>
|
||

|
||
Experiments under Linux have not yet begun.<br>
