Hi,

Quick question on hardware support.  I need to add a parallel
printer card to an SS2 to use it as a print server.  Any ideas
if the following card (part 501-2275) classifies as the
following device (which according to SBus supported hardware
should work) ... ???  I've been offered one for free if I go
and pick it up.  Just wondering if I should bother or not?

support info:-
   LSI64854 based bi-directional parallel port (bpp)

the card I have (501-2275 SBus Printer card, Newsprinter 20):-

Alternatively, if the answer is no, then has anyone got any
better suggestions for zero budget?
