  • Method and apparatus for parallel port interconnection
    Patent number: 6182145
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for parallel communication from a PC to an external device. The apparatus is connected between the PC and the external device. The apparatus is encoded so that its identity can be read by the PC and the external device. The PC then communicates with the external device through the apparatus, informing the external device of the communication mode that the PC uses to communicate. In response, the external device communicates through the apparatus to inform the PC of the communication mode that it uses. Subsequently, the PC transmits information to the apparatus for retransmission to the external device. As a result of the data it has previously obtained from the PC and the external device, the apparatus configures itself so that it can optimize the transmission of information from the PC to the external device. The method is the method of receipt and processing of the data used to optimally configure the apparatus of the invention.
