The LPT/parallel port looks like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Parallel_computer_printer_port.jpg
I just tested my BUNG XChanger GB under Windows XP and it works. Not sure about other devices though.

You're in the US right? Hit up craigslist and find any XP computer and check to see if its has the printer port probably $40. If you're in the UK use Gumtree, you'll have to select your local area (like Leeds.Gumtree.com) and you should be able to get a basic XP or 98 computer for £30 or so.

Damn I didn't realize that my nForce4 mobo was 'historic' and its functional parallel port something of a rarity. Glad I treat it like a deity then.

Anyone got a Core2Quad for it? :excitement:

I've got an nForce4 board, with a C2Q. Gave it to my mom because her Pentium D was giving her headaches.

If you dump the ROM it's as simple as using a hex editor to compare the file against the retail release. Checksums shouldn't be relied on as you can fake those.

Only if you released the rom to the community!
