That's a very PC-centric statement for you, and I am not convinced it's even
true
on IBM PCs and compatibles!
There are plenty of machines that have 7 or 8 data bits output, automatic

A parallel port based solution is widely usable and portable too. A
parallel port Zip drive with the PalmZip drivers will work even on an 8088
class machine. A Xircom PE3 Ethernet adapter will give you network access
at speeds over 30KB/sec when on the slowest machines without even having to

Maybe it'd run under DOSBox?
