I said one of, not the only, and I also did not say that some weren't
similar.  And, the most important thing, it was just an idea =P.

Upon asking Mel, it would seem it's not because of bus speed (most likely),
it's due to parallel port problems. Newer computers have differently
configured parallel ports.
