Hi folks,

just a brief question: I'd like to equip a beige G3 Mac with an
additional parallel port for printing. PCI cards for the PC that supply
a parallel port are ready available, and supported by Linux, and the
Mac itself provides PCI slots that are also supported by Linux.

Will a standard PCI parallel port extender designed for PCs work in
a Macintosh under Linux? (I don't care whether MacOs supports it).

So long,
        Thomas
