SP12 is known to run in Linux, in MS-DOS, in a Windows 3.X
- Dosbox and in a Windows 9X Dosbox, on machines ranging from a
- slow 386 to a 450MHz Pentium-II. Windows NT does not provide
- the access to the parallel port required by SP12.

- As reported by Chris Jackson:
- "One of the machines that I tried it on had a Parallel Port
- PCMCIA adapter installed. Unless the machine was powered up with
- this device fully disconnected, the driver for it was loaded by
- Windows. This meant that whenever SP12 set the port lines high,
- the driver would kick in and set them back low again. Depending on
- the speed of the driver's response, the programmer would sometimes
- work, and sometimes not - which caused a bit of confusion at first."
