I have a Dell Inspiron 2600 Pentium III with 384 Megs of ram. It is setup as a
dual boot - Linux/EMC2.1 BDI and Windows XP Home. It runs my stepper drivers
just fine out of the printer port. I bought it new about 5 years ago or so.

Thanks for the responses on EMC laptops. But surely there must be at least

Only problem is that Printer ports are not addressed the same on PCMCIA
cards and with EMC2 we talk direct to the address and not via a driver.
