Subject: Parallel cable revision

Hi

Here is a revision of the cable I was talking about last week. I've been
playing with it over the weekend (thanks to Stuart for his help and guidence
with ASM) and have now some simple byte transfer with a hardware handshake.
Just a slight problem with an interrupt though... I'll probably post the
program here when it works a little better and with the initiation being
started at either end.

BBC USER PORT   PC PARALLEL
 1     +5v
 2    CB1        6 D4
 3    +5v
 4    CB2       11 -BUSY
 5    0v        18 GND
 6    PB0        2 D0
 7    0v        19 GND

19    0v        25 GND
20    PB7       10 -ACK

or put another way:

USER  CB2 -> -BUSY    PRINTER
PORT  CB1 <- D4        PORT
       D7 <- -ACK
       D6 -> PaperOut
       D5 -> SELECT
       D4 -> -ERROR
       D3 <- D3
       D2 <- D2
       D1 <- D1
       D0 <- D0
