- Hi. I don't know the details (like how to actually do it), but it seems to me I
- read somewhere that you can do it using some of the handshaking lines (but not
- the 8 data lines) but you can only send/receive 4-5 bits at a time! In any
- case, I know it can be done, since there are tape drives and CD-ROM drives and
- the like that connect to the parallel port.
-
- Actually, I was going to ask the same question and I'm sure others would like
- to know as well. If anyone has any info on this pleasepleaseplease post it
- here on the net. :-)
