There are lots of examples around on how to use the serial port, but I'm
interested in bi-directional use of the parallel port.  There appears to
be very little written on the matter - the RKM's are somewhat terse - and
most people steer clear of it.  There are some hardware problems
involved (the connections are not full duplex) so there needs to be some
co-operation on the send and receive, or collision detection hardware,
but I can handle that.  What I really need is examples of the standard
way to interface to it - or I will end up going in at the register level.
