      I got a ValueStore a while back.  (And a couple other "toys" for
the Printer port.)
   They keep upgrading their driver software, (free).
   The only problem I had was, there "were" no Printer Port standards
that allowed
   these types of devices to be used on ALL computers.
   It works on some computers, and not others (older models).
   Also, I was worried about the lack of good ventilation,
   and always ran mine with the plastic "lid" off.
   If you have Win95-(8), set up a hardware profile for it, and similar
devices. (One each)
   It will save you grief.
