Fast Parallell/Serial port!
« on: March 05, 2004, 01:23:54 PM »
Hello!

I wonder which electronic device I'm going to buy to get a fast serial and a fast parallell port to my A1200. I have the Fast ATA chips on my mobo, so I don't know if there is an upgrade that fits the small hole down to the clockport.

I want some advice.

Hello!

It seems a little bit expensive, 100 Euro for one parallell port and one Serial port. Does this fit when you have the mediator card over the clockport?

Where can I order one? I visited Individual computers homepage, but I could not find anywhere to order on their homepage.

Is there any other alternatives?

Wouldn't the best allround idea be to get a Clockport USB card, then get a Serial and Parallel adaptor if and when you need them.

Ther is not point adding yet more legacy to the system :-)


I need the fast parallell port for my HP laserprinter. I have the mediator in my A1200 so I do not need a USB for the clockport. I'm going to get the Spider II USB card for mediator.

Hello!

Is there such a converter? I did not know that. Can I trust that this USB->Parallell converter really works 100%?

Hello!

I bought a very expensive laser printer for many years ago. Its price was about 1200 EURO back then and the printer have post script level 2 and it can print at a dpi of 600x600 and it can print about 6 pages/minutes and the printer also have IR communication and some upgrading abilities in form of more memory and so on.

Today you can get a printer like this for much less money, but I'm very happy with my printer and I have never regret that I bought that printer. It have never failed me and I have only switched Toner in it one time so far. Actually I bought this printer specifically to my A1200...  :-)  I have many fond memories of my printer...  :-)

Hello!

By the way, I have ordered the hypercom 3+ from GGS data in Sweden. I hope it will arrive this week.
