Au contraire. Okay, actually, it's a nitpick. During the cloning
heyday, there was a family of clones which had a parallel port. I think
it was the model from Motorola (Starmax?), but my memory is hazy. Of
course, that was back in the 90s.

Hmm, I thought all modern machines emulate a
parallel port connected via
an ISA bus
Macs have never had parallel printer ports, not even the new Intel Mac
Pros.

My Starmax 3000/180 doesn't have a parallel port, although it does
have an unlabelled DB25 SCSI port which is physically the same. I
could imagine this causing some user confusion at the time.
