-
- Do note that the parallel ports in a DECserver 250 are DataProducts
- parallel ports and not Centronics parallel ports most (PC-)printers
- expect to see and use.
-
- The DECserver 250 parallel ports were designed to be used with Digital
- high-speed line printers.
-
- There are no Digital terminal servers with Centronics parallel ports
- at this time, as far as I know. However, Digital is not the only one
- doing LAT terminal servers. ;-)
