Have you tried using one of those $5 ISA/PCI POST

I'm aware of them, but I did NOT know they were that cheap... *searches*
OK, so for $20 I've just netted myself a set of three -- a PCIe/MiniPCIe one which
should work nicely on the laptops and the spiffy new(ish) desktop, a PCI/USB/parallel one
for the other laptops, and an ISA/PCI one for the 386.
Hmm, I hadn't looked in a while. I have a PCI one I got somewhere.
There's quite a variety on eBay at ridiculous prices. Which ones are
the good ones? I'd rather pay $30 for a good one than 99 cents for bad one.
Or for that matter, a well-documented one. See one card's eBay text below.
