Well...  The more `modern' machines do have // ports.  Sparc 10's, 20's, 5's
Classics and LXs all have // ports.  On some machines (10,20) it is a compact
connecter which needs a different kind of cable but it is a // port.

(On sparc 10's and 20's you'll find two small connectors one above the other,
one of these is the ethernet marked <.> the other is the parallel port, marked
//).
