 Some high-end printers provide SCSI connection to ensure a high data rate
 transmission.

 On low-end computers, parallel port are used to provide fast printing 
 capabilities. BUT, some of them, such as Apple machines, doesn't offer
 a parallel port. On these computers,  most of parallel printers can be
 used with a parallel/serial cable, which is not as fast as true parallel
 interface.

 So, the idea is to use a SCSI/parallel converter (both 8-bit parallel 
 transmission designs) to allow a high speed printing through the printer
 parallel port (with the associated software part).

 Does someone have heard about such a converter ? or have had a similar idea 
 and some attemps to design it ?

 Thanks for any tips, informations or advices about this issue,

 Best,

Stephane
