The bridge chips on main boards almost all support LPT. Sometimes there
is a pin header or at least the empty position for one. On my latest
Dell there ain't. The bridge chip supports LPT and all other legacy
stuff but they took LPT out of the layout. They even removed the 2nd
floppy support from the BIOS :-(

Harumph. Grumble.

So why did you buy Dell?

Dell came out in Germany as having by far the best support (if it is kaput) I found out
today (German user experiences with notebook service):

Asus came out the worst with recommendation they do something else for a while...
