I would really like that.
So the Mesa looks like a breakout card of sorts. With the D525MW, I won't need this extra card, and that would be nicer. The 26-pin cable you'd need this (which I ordered last night for my Biostar Shuttle PC)... http://www.meritline.com/idc26-db25-motherboard-parallel-port-connector-cable---p-44574.aspx I'm sure you can easily make a connector for the reverse method (DB25-F to 0.1" IDC connector), plugged into the port at the back of the computer. Willing to bet MESA would have a cable assembly like this already. >> Viesturs...do you happen to know if the D525MW contains the same BIOS bug? > > Honestly - I have no idea.

Still googling, and have not found anything negative about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
