If all you want is the connection (as opposed to driver software or
anything like that), the cheapest alternative I've found is the ParaLink
Express by Jonathan Freeman Technologies. This is a parallel/serial
converter operating at 57.6k. Believe it or not, the cheapest place
to get it is from Epson Accessories marketing in Torrance, CA. Their
number is 800-873-7766. The ParaLink costs $74.
