PRN: should be connected to an honest-to-Phred device.  I too
have noticed that many machines have an "easy" BIOS.  I even
have heard the excuse that "we didn't implement those extra
devices because it saves memory" (!!!)

      Other machines with "Easy" BIOSes includ the entire
TeleVideo line.  I'm  mystified by this approach, with so many
model BIOSes around.
