I don't have any documentation on the Dips, but the board does take an
extremely rare buffer board, which frees the machine from waiting to
print.  The board is more or less like the Orange Micro Parallel Pro I
have in my ad, except that mine has the buffer with it already.  You are
UNLIKELY to find a buffer board for it (I had one and let it go as I could
not find the buffered board).  The one advantage over the OM board is
keyboard commands (try IN# = card slot), and see if you can access the
parallel pro menu.
