Many laser printers last for years, so businesses often keep older laser printers around even after upgrading other hardware. Many older laser printers use a parallel port interface rather than the ...

If your small business is typical, you want to get the longest lifespan possible from your tech investment, and therefore you may have an older dot-matrix or laser printer with a parallel port that ...

Any peripheral component can be controlled by the 25-pin parallel port by assigning a high & low or ON & OFF state to each pin. During the design of the project, a Super Nintendo Entertainment System ...

FM synthesis is the sound of the 1980s, it’s the sound of shopping malls and Macintosh Plus. It’s the sound of the Motorola DynaTAC, busts of Helios, and the sound of vaporwaveサ閲ユ. The chips most ...

I have a PC-based DSO that connects via parallel port that I'd like to get working via USB (preferable) or at least ExpressCard. I picked up a USB-parallel adapter from MicroCenter thinking it would ...

Parallel port access changed significantly between Win95 and WinNT - in '95 it was possible for user programs to directly twiddle parallel port bits but NT made that impossible (only a driver can ...

If you want to talk to a typewriter using something other than your fingers on the keys, you could do a lot worse than to pick up a specimen featuring a Centronics parallel port. That’s what happened ...

Featured in this project is the control of a stepper motor with its speed, direction, and step size by sending some signals through the parallel port. The project provides better understanding and ...

This week, I will discuss advanced features of the BIOS. These include proper configuration of built-in peripherals, as well as power-management issues to consider. Let's dig in. This section of the ...

The circuit shown in Figure 1 steals energy from a PC's parallel port or from any limited-energy source. To use the available energy, such power-conversion applications usually require very high ...

While doing my usual surfing routine today, I came across an interesting read over at CNET. Some creative artists have made their mark in the oddest of places, a microchip. Some of the designs are ...

For PCI bus interfacing, the OX16PC1952 brings together a PCI interface, two high performance serial channels, and a parallel port in one compact, 128-pin TQFP package. This integrated bridge device ...
