Parallel and serial are two different things. Dont think there is a way to utilize the parallel port for this. If your laptop has a usb you can use that with an adapter. I imagine it must have some form of a serial communications on it. Even my tandy with an LCD dot matrix display and DD 3.5" floppy drive had a serial port

no, a DB25 will not work with parallel port. They have different methods of communicating. Serial data is transmitted sequentially 01010110101 - one bit at a time, and a parallel port is bi-directional and relies on two way communication.
If your laptop has PCMCIA Slots sometime called PC Card slots -- you can pick up an RS232 adapter for less than 50 bucks.

yep, thats them. On 'most' latptops I've seen they were on the right hand side of the case -- and each slot, usually 2 stacked one on top of the other, has a spring loaded ejector.
