Add another vote for me for the parallel port, i still use it a lot.
I did vote for Mesa, the absolute reason being reliability, for both Mesa and Parallel port.

Mesa, Pico, Parallel port and EtherCAT are safe.

It's the other stuff I am really interested in. Can we safely sunset those drivers?

Servo2Go seems to still exist, but I don't see anything like the original Servo2Go ISA bus interface card on their web page.

I am not sure if servo2go is the same as servotogo. 

The servotogo.com address now seems to redirect to an Indonesian lottery site.

A google search for servo-to-go comes up pointing to alvarestech.com, that brings up the original servo-to-go main page from 20 years ago. I was real surprised to see that pop up! But, they have been out of the business since about that time. I can imagine there might be some hermit still running an STG card somewhere, but that's a stretch.  (I sold mine 20 years ago!)
