    You're in the US right? Hit up craigslist and find any XP computer and check to see if its has the printer port probably $40. If you're in the UK use Gumtree, you'll have to select your local area (like Leeds.Gumtree.com) and you should be able to get a basic XP or 98 computer for £30 or so.

    Damn I didn't realize that my nForce4 mobo was 'historic' and its functional parallel port something of a rarity. Glad I treat it like a deity then.

    Anyone got a Core2Quad for it? :excitement:

    I've got an nForce4 board, with a C2Q. Gave it to my mom because her Pentium D was giving her headaches.

    If you dump the ROM it's as simple as using a hex editor to compare the file against the retail release. Checksums shouldn't be relied on as you can fake those.

    To think C2Q is worth money! On a good day I could get 80 bucks plus, gutting the Q6600 out of my retired computer.
