Subject:   What parallel port card to use with qcam?

Hi!
---

I just purchased one of these little quick-cams and compiled a new kernel
including the qcam driver. Upon boot I noticed that the driver reports that
the parallel port in this machine is a uni-directional port. The Qcam manual
states that it supports either uni-directional (compatible), bi-directional
(enhanced) or enhanced capability ports. I'm not quite sure what is the
(if any) difference between a bi-directional (enhanced?!) and an enhanced
capability port (?!). If I go to get a new parallel port card for the qcam,
are there any things to take special notice of apart from the fact that it
supports bi-directional transfers?

Thankful for any advice...

Regards, Mickey
