Diacom plus on Pentium laptops

[TBK]

I've run it on a Pentium 450MHz and it works. The processor speed is not the
problem. If there is a hardware issue is it parallel port or interrupt
controller related. Diacom fakes a 160 or 8192 baud serial port with one of
the parallel port lines. It is all interrupt and timer driven.
