Last time I checked, neither allowed you to pass through VMs parallel port to a 'real' parallel port on the host machine, at least not when the host machine is running windows.

Dosbox-x does all this which is why I use it, that and the parallel port transfer speed it much faster than com port with null modem.

Though if you've got suggestions for other visualization options I should try, pass them on & i'll have a look and try them out.
