Nothing later than Windows 98SE, and you need a parallel printer port (that's the 25 pin connector, the serial port is the 9 pin one). I use an IBM T23 laptop because way back when I needed a "new" laptop it was old enough to have the parallel port and new enough to have USB ports. Just accept that anything that old will have a dead battery so simply run it off of an inverter plugged into the cigarette lighter, and the AC supply.
