some basic questions

[arkantos]

one more question.

i read about the Parallel to JTAG cable schematics here:
http://www.haxorware.com/forums/thread-24.html

and here, it says that it will take many hours for the flashing / copying process. - the paragraph just after the 3 links.

true?
if true, any alternatives?

thanks in advance!
