The TI notebook adapter is quite small (ne200 clone), but works very well.
The DX2/50 is very fast and very comfortable. I find it no problem, and
in-transit it fits nicely into a thin brief case.
You can diddle the enet drivers to work with these parallel devices
on other notebooks, but they are tricky. If you are not comfortable with
doing this, stick to a notebook with a conventional and well-supported
adapter (wd8000-type or ne2000-type).
