- Besides, the parallel port is EPP compatible, meaning that (unlike the present
- one) it will work with EPP Parallel SCSI adapters, Etherenet adapters,
- Token-ring, etc. etc. These are already available for the PC-types, in fact, I
- have an EPP SCSI adapter for my laptop that I would LOVE to be able to use with,
- say the Walker :)
