    2 PARALLEL ports

    why don't main boards still not include two physical parallel ports. Am I the only one who needs to use two parallel printers. Getting tired of mucking with cables everytime I want to switch. Local store no help. Suggestions?

    I added an ISA card that provides 2 extra parallel ports. Maybe $15 or so. If your printers are touchy about EPP/ECP, you may need to get something a little better.
