I need a few good old laptop PCs that have Parallel Ports

[Terry McCarty]

Hello -

Recently I "cracked the code" on how to debrick the Linksys WRT54G 
BroadBand HamNet (BBHN) routers using an IEEE 1149.1 Boundary Scan 
(JTAG) process.  :-)

:-( The "problem is" this process requires connecting to the WRT54G 
router via a special parallel port cable - modern laptop computers don't 
have parallel ports any more - they only have USB ports. 

I have looked at the JTAG IEEE protocol - This debricking process 
requires an "antique" PC that has a real parallel port (not a serial to 
parallel converter).

Therefore, I am in the market for a few old laptops, if they also have 
the old fashioned parallel ports on them.

I have looked around the area (Susie's place in Woodbridge, Micro 
Center, and other "computer places") and have not found any.

If you have two or three suitable old laptops, or know of someone who 
does, please let me know - maybe we can "make a deal". :-)
