You might have some luck looking for a second-hand

perhaps on eBay; I've had pretty good luck with mine. Be aware that
if you get a parallel port one, you'll need a parallel port at 0x378,
which means you either need a native port built onto your board or,
like me, a PCI one and a Windows XP VM which pretends that port is at
0x378.
I did that--got a Superpro/L cheap and hooked it up to a HP thin
client (with real serial and parallel ports) that I got for next to
nothing. Install DOS with networking or Win9x and you've got a
complete package.
The Wayback machine shows that around 1998 or so, there was a Windows-
GUI programming software for the Superpro/L, but the file isn't
available. Would anyone have a copy of it?
