    Which PCI parallel port card?

    My computer does not have a parallel port card, I am unsure of which brand or model to purchase.
    Is this one good?

    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Startech-com-PCI1PECP-Parallel-Card-1-port/dp/B00006B8BS/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1278038537&sr =8-7"]Amazon.com: Startech.com PCI1PECP EPP/ECP Parallel PCI Card (1-port): Electronics[/ame]

    I like this one because it says it supports Linux, I may run EMC2, who knows. I just would like a quality card because I do not want it to be the weak link in my system. I'd rather spend 5-10 dollars more to get a good Parallel port card than to get a crappy one.

    Look at the mother board bios. Some have a parallel header that needs a connector and a bios adjustment.
