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.  :-)

Tschuess,
David Paschal
