RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] PPorts and ISA

one at Tiger

The small form factor boards/cases are the exception to the standard
parallel port. The small cases and their motherboards are targeted
at LAN party type gamers. I don't know about you, but I hate
lugging an IBM line printer to a all night Half Life tourney!

The ISA port post is *right* on target. I have searched high and
low for ANY motherboards with ISA slots. There are none, zero, zip,
nada.

I had to replace 3 Allen Bradley Data Hiway plus and DH485 1784KTX
cards with the PCI equivalent (1785PKTX) in able to upgrade my old
PC. At $1275.- each, I would have paid QUITE a premium for a new
Motherboard with ISA slots!
