I understand that, but she was talking about her Pentium that didn't work.
My old 486DX/33 didn't have a bidirection port, and I never bothered to
upgrade it. The only time you really need it is if you have a link between
two computers, a parallel port graph-link (wannabe), or a new printer that
actually gives feedback to the computer.
Sorry if I got off topic there... but I think I got my point across.
