Yes. I'd assumed I'd need a USP->EPP adapter, as I use a parallel
scanner quite a lot at home; but there's the port, large as life.

I also have bluetooth, which I didn't expect.

The X30 seems to be something of a poor stepchild at the IBM site, I
assume because the X31 came out so soon after the X30 release. On the
plus side, I got a great price on a nice new P3-1.2 subnote, so I can
put up with a bit of bad information.

Since we also have a T, such a cable won't go completely unused; now the
trick is finding one cheap.
