If you decide to go with a computer that does not have a Parallel Port, you'll have to integrate a PCMCIA to parallel adapter. We recommend the Quatech SPP-100 PCMCIA to parallel port card. If/when we get to this point, I can help you through the installation with this sort of adapter. Unfortunately, SD's RS^3 software is not WindowsCE compatible, nor will it work properly with the newer tablet-type computers. My best recommendation at this point in time is the Panasonic CF-M34 model.

I have tested this computer extensively with our current FieldSpec spectroradiometers and it is quite nice. This would be my computer choice if I were purchasing an instrument today. If you'd like to discuss the pros and cons in a bit more detail or if you have an alternate computer in mind, please feel free to contact me or send me a link to the computer(s) you are considering.
