 I don't know the answer to this (hopefully another list participant does).

However, I think you would be so much happier networking the two machines
together. If you only want to connect two machines, you don't need a hub.
Simply a network interface card for each machine (they're dirt cheap, even
the 100MB/s kind) and a cable with a twist adapter. Win95 / Win98 / WinNT
has all the networking software built in.

This is significantly faster than doing parallel port transfers.
