These laptops were used for a multitude of tasks, including gaming and MAME, but it's time to pass them on. They could use used on a workbench for diagnostics, programming/validating EPROMs, music while you work, etc. :)

I don't believe so, but nothing a USB to DB25 LPT port adapter won't fix.
I was going to ask about the parallel port too. Too bad.

Be careful with USB adapters. The ones that I've seen are only designed to output to a printer. They won't work for 2-way bit banging. I've heard there are some that work, but most don't.
 
These all have VGA, HDMI, RJ45, USB, etc. ports, but no serial or parallel ports.

I've had good luck with USB adapters, but I tend to buy better adapters, so maybe that's the difference.

Yeah, I'm a cheap skate. :p
But seriously, there was nothing on the market that would work when I was trying to do it. So I gave up and never looked back.
That was YEARS ago...surely by now SOMEBODY is making something that works.

Agreed. In searching ebay, I see quite a few adapters that are listed as bi-directional.
 
One of the laptops is sold, there are still two left!

Are you talking about these folks?


Scott C.
Yes, at one time they had the most advance usb to printer port system out there until they bricked a bunch of knock off chips through windows update.

I don't know any designers who uses them any more.
