Yes, I am sure.  This computer is so old that it doesn't lpt0 on the
motherboard.  I have a IDE card installed, not a Multi-IO card.  There are
no com ports or printer ports in this machine (unless you count the
modems).  I do have an old SB-16 installed, but not being used/recognized.
It is there to provide the 2ndary IDE bus for my CD-ROM.
