    The document provides instructions for connecting two computers through their parallel ports to transfer data. A special parallel cable is needed that has crossed data lines to allow transfer speeds of around 50kB/sec. The connection allows synchronizing data between two machines like a desktop and laptop but is not intended for networking. Safety precautions are outlined like only connecting computers when powered off due to risks of static electricity damage and using the proper 4-bit parallel cable.

    PORT connection to other PC through


    the parallel port
    The PORT connection through the parallel port allows to transfer
    data between two computers in the same room over a special parellel.
    This cable can be found in most computer shops under the name
    Interlink/Laplink parallel cable or parallel cable for direct cable
    connection. It allows a transfer rate of about 50kB/sec. The function
    therefore cannot be used as a netwook, but is meant to synchronize
    data between two machines (e.g. a desktop and a notebook).
    You need a pair of network cards for a permanent connection.

    Important safety instructions please read:

    1. You need a special cable for the parallel port cable connection! This cable has crossed data
    lines! Normal parallel extension cables may damage the parallel port(s) if you connect them to your
    computers! You need a 4 bit (not 8 bit cable). See below for the connections.
    2. Only connect the computers when they are turned off! Contrary to USB, the parallel port is
    not suited for suited for hot-plugging!
    3. There is always a danger of the destruction of the port by static electricity. Therefore please
    touch the PC case before connecting the cable. Avoid rubber soles on a carpet floor.
    4. Only connect two parallel ports, not a parallel with a serial! The parallel port on the PC has
    25 holes (not pins). The cable must have two plugs with 25 pins each.
    5. You should not use the parallel port connection with other devices on he same line, like a
    dongle, ZIP drive (TM) or an external harddisk. Total Commader blocks all port access for the
    whole duration of the connection!
