I think I've touched on most of your questions in a posting just sent. But, for those not covered, I've added a couple of specific responses...

Yes, Parallel Port connection. Optra S1650 only has parallel. And, it works too well to spend money on anything else. Once in a while I wish I had color, but color and auto-duplexing is either way to expensive or made of that new element: nonobtainium. >> And, the other ACPI that has been rather widely reported: Rebooting >> without actually powering the system off is not possible.

It is not at all unlikely that I have something specified wrong. But, the instructions are all over the place; and couched either so only a hardware expert can understand them, or specified something like, "If you need..., be sure to add..." HOW the @#E@Q# to do I know if I do/don't need...? Quad? I'm just happy for the dual at this point. If I missed something, just ask...
