- Bi-directional ports are NOT required, and in fact are not used in
- bi-directional mode even if they are of that type. If you look at the
- cable, it's wired 2,3,4,5,6 --> 15,13,12,10,11 and vice-versa.
-
- 2,3,4,5,6 are data output lines from the port. These data lines are
- always used in output mode.
- 15,13,12,10,11 are input status lines to the port (pr-error*, slct, pe,
- ack, and pr-busy). They are always used in input mode, and in this
- application are used for both data and status information.
