Using this and VMware, even if the software doesn't run on your preferred OS you can usually 'bodge it' so at least you don't need an extra laptop to lug around.

I still have a System 3+ in my car, and run the version 6 software on my XP laptop. I've found the best way to do it is to use Vmware Workstation that allows me to host a virtual windows 98 machine which connects to the physical parallel port with the PiDD connected. Works without a problem.
I cant confirm (as I havnt tested yet) but I would think this same config should work on a windows 7 lappie although you would probably need a usb to parallel converter as most current laptops dont have one anymore.
