- Hi,
-
- there should be bidirectional parallel ports on the market, at least in
- some laptops.
- Pocket ethernet adaptors work faster if you have a bidirectional port.
- Otherwise they perform like 4 bit adaptors (the 4 status bits!).
- D-LINK has a test program on their disk that tells you if your computers
- parallel port is bidirectional.
- My Toshiba T5100 laptop has NO bidirectional port and until now I have not
- seen any on another computer...
