I'm using the TUW-solution, which is a DIY-adapter for the ROM-port.
I'm also looking into the possibility to use Woller's
ROMport->parallelport adapter, but I prefer the cheaper DIY-solution.
If there's any interest for this I might be able to build a small
batch of these interfaces on real PCB's instead of the Veroboard-hack
I originally planned on.

It's also possible to connect it to the parallel-port, but this will
require some hacking to the hardware as well as a new driver. And
since my parallel-port already is occupied by (you guessed it) a
printer, I prefer the ROMport-solution.
