[ale] OT: Buying PCI Printer Parallel Cards Locally

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Frys is likely to have both such things.  There are two stores in GA, 
one in Milton, near Alpharetta, and one in Duluth, near Gwinnett Place Mall.

Someone else mentioned Micro Center.  They also have two stores in GA, 
one in Marietta, and one in Duluth, near Gwinnett Place Mall.

If you're in Gwinnett County, you could visit both Frys and Micro Center 
pretty easily.

I've used a USB - Parallel adapter years ago on Windows without a 
problem.  I haven't tried it on Linux.  I guess it would depend on 
whether Linux recognizes the chip set.  It's pretty rare, but not 
unheard of, for the vendor to provide Linux drivers.  If you go that 
route, and you have time, you might want to look up USB parallel adapter 
on Amazon, and read the reviews to see if any mention Linux, assuming 
you're using Linux.

Best Buy used to sell USB parallel adapters for about $ 40.  I don't 
know if they still do.

Sincerely,

Ron
