I don't know if this is true, or if it would help, but I was told that
there are small capacitors on the I/O lines of the parallel port.
Clipping these is -supposed- to greatly increase rate of data transfer.
Obviously, it would be better to try this on an add-in card than on the
motherboard...
I don't know enough about electronics to feel confident about what
capacitors to clip, nor measure the effects. Just thought I'd toss it
out for someone else to comment on.
