Computer-Gate has a one-directional card, I can get my catalog out and
give you the part number, if you want a flat plain LPT card that's NEW.
IIRC $6.95 or $7.95;  Get a print catalog, their web site's a sick
puppy, they do have an 888 phone number (888-437-0895) and have OK
stuff.

I keep finding these cards used at the local used computer sales etc.,
if I can find one box I could mail you one for a couple bucks,
probably.  Don't hold your breath though <G>  I've seen a few that could
be jumpered any way you wanted including 2nd IDE channel or 2nd FDD
port.
