Many laser printers last for years, so businesses often keep older laser printers around even after upgrading other hardware. Many older laser printers use a parallel port interface rather than the ...

If your small business is typical, you want to get the longest lifespan possible from your tech investment, and therefore you may have an older dot-matrix or laser printer with a parallel port that ...

With the continuing manufacture of new computers, there is a clear and obvious trend of the parallel port becoming less and less common. For our younger readers; the parallel port is an interface ...

Any peripheral component can be controlled by the 25-pin parallel port by assigning a high & low or ON & OFF state to each pin. During the design of the project, a Super Nintendo Entertainment System ...

I have a PC-based DSO that connects via parallel port that I'd like to get working via USB (preferable) or at least ExpressCard. I picked up a USB-parallel adapter from MicroCenter thinking it would ...

Supporting both IEEE1284-I and -II bi-directional parallel communications between personal computers and peripherals, the 74LVC161284TTR and 74LVCZ161284ATTR parallel-port transceivers can each ...

Parallel port access changed significantly between Win95 and WinNT - in '95 it was possible for user programs to directly twiddle parallel port bits but NT made that impossible (only a driver can ...

High-resolution temperature sensing at low cost is possible using only one chip attached to the PC's parallel port (Figure 1). The Dallas Semiconductor (www.dalsemi.com) DS1722 digital thermometer ...

Iomega’s Zip drives filled an interesting niche back in the 1990s. A magnetic disk that was physically floppy-sized, but much larger in capacity– starting at 100 MB, and reaching 750 ...

While doing my usual surfing routine today, I came across an interesting read over at CNET. Some creative artists have made their mark in the oddest of places, a microchip. Some of the designs are ...

For PCI bus interfacing, the OX16PC1952 brings together a PCI interface, two high performance serial channels, and a parallel port in one compact, 128-pin TQFP package. This integrated bridge device ...

The mode chosen by the software driver is based on the connected device. 1-Compatibility mode supports the Centronics interface at 150 KB/sec. 2-Nibble mode supports Bi-tronics; HP's parallel port ...
