:  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,

Check with Black Box, Inc, they have an adapter for just about everything.
Their email is info@blackbox.com.

:  Best,
