I'm a hardware guy, so I like to workaround problems that way. ;')  I 
used to use my video card as a test platform since it had the I2C bus 
available on a bank of jumpers (probably for an addition board).  
Notice, too, that the AD kit I got came with both a parallel port and a 
DIMM dummy, which was very handy.

Yeah, it should work w/ the parallel port.  You'll need to figure out 
which pins on the parallel port is Data and which is Clock.  Hopefully 
power isn't going to be hard to figure out (does it come with an AC 
adapter? Or does it pull it from the parallel port?).  Then, you'll 
probably need to tweak the parallel port driver to match.  Since it's a 
bit-banger based driver, it shouldn't be too hard.  All the info should 
be in the eval kit docs (especially the schematics).
