No LPT on my laptop. What are my options? - GSM-Forum

apw100 · 09-27-2005, 00:40

My laptop doesnt have an LPT port, only USB, Firewire and PCMCIA. What can I use to allow me to access boot-loader.com and use Smart-Moto? Has anyone used a PCMCIA parallel/LPT card with the Smart Clip? If so, what brand/model? Thanks!

no, the best is to sell this and buy a new one - quite difficult, nowadays there's hard to find a laptop with Centronics ... I've searched over 3 Months (Centronics and RS232 was necessary), and found - Compaq NC6000, with PentiumM 1.8 :-) And with LPT and RS232 included...
