Aright... I have my Willem here... and I can use it on my old laptop.. and the desk top.. but the laptop I use the most... well it doesn't have a parallel port...

and I have heard that a USB to Parallel conversion won't work?

Is there some other cheap way to get this done? Or should I try and reload win98 on that old piece of junk to get it working properly..

Will a PCMCIA parallel port adapter do the trick without causing more problems?

I upgraded to one of these. I don't use any of my UV chips anymore. I use the erasable chips now. Just toss the chip in, wipe it and burn the new bin.

Rob (boostbutton) has talked about making the same things for a lot less. Not sure if that ever worked out.
