Parallel ports

Actually most current motherboards still have parallel ports on them.
I build these machines for industrial control, so I need serial and
parallel ports.

I just built several machines at work, and considered Abit, Intel,
Gigabyte, and several other brands. All had PPorts.

I settled on the Intel 865 PERL motherboards, which cost about $140.-
(one of the higher priced ones)

Other boards started below $80.-
