Which SuperPro do you have? There are many versions...If it is the 
original SuperPro it got the power from the PC adapter card that the 25 
pin cable plugged into. This models did NOT use the Parallel Port!

I have one of those old timers at the shop, not willing to spare the 
adapter directly, but can provide you with high rez pictures of both 
sides if you wanted to make a replacement. Used the XT slot as well, did 
not need the AT extension. Did not use custom ICs AIR.

It may be possible to bypass some of the hardware but I'm not willing to 
invest any time in figuring it out. The XT card has several ports, some 
of which are in the Parallel Port range AIR.
