For that very reason, I finally broke down and got an ibm t41 laptop last week on ebay. Parallel port is on it and gonna save me a lot of trouble, I hope.
Keep in mind if you have i models such as iR3300i,3320i,5020i,6020i, those models can be upgraded thru fixed IP. Later models such as iR5000, iR5000s,iR5000d require that USB to Parallel Interface Cable (item # FY9-4154-000 to upgrade firmware. Not to sure about the card thing though? Also the nethawk driver is not compatible with Vista's OS. Good luck trying to find that cable.
I have had guys bring there docking station to flash machines with the para ell to centronics. Also the bigger hard drives WM2-3240-000 require later SST tool version 4.X I believe for the 2200 series.
The only stumbling block will be whether the Nethawk driver recognizes it and therefore whether or not SST will accept it.
Hi Oze,
The adapter shown in the previous post looks like it might be the ticket,
and if an IEEE1284 cable is used with that adapter, you will not have to
worry about any nethawk driver. It looks promising! Hope someone will
keep us posted.

The reason you only have the centronics and ethernet options in SST,
is because you don't have the nethawk driver loaded. I assume that the
driver will not work properly with anything but the actual nethawk cable.
