ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system of transmitting data from a sending computer (10) to a receiving computer (30) in an 8-bit parallel format. Each computer includes a parallel communications port (14 and 34) having a data output register (24 and 44), a status register (26 and 46) and a control register (28 and 48). The method includes the steps of connecting the computers, configuring the receiving computer and writing the data to be transmitted at the sending computer. The method further includes the step of determining whether the receiving computer has the ability to receive 8-bit parallel communication. A cable for providing a communication link between the two computers is also disclosed.
