The USB printer adapters are crap. They will only allow you to run a printer. The only thing I have found, because I too have a laptop without a parallel port, is a pcmcia parallel port. They are almost impossible to find locally. I've tried all of the consumer stores. They are availabe online for $60-$120. If it has a compatability list, its a good idea to check it. The two models I've looked at are the cbp=220

. and the Quatech spp-100. I hope this helps.

I just ordered one of the PCMCIA parallel ports for my laptop because of a computer failier too..
And now I just found out that my new laptop has a PCMCIA EXPRESS port it does not let that card in so I am back to looking for a used comp to run MACH in again..
So double check your new laptop to see if it has a PCMCIA regular port not the newer EXPRESS card port..
