Parallel
The parallel cable is used to connect the computer to a variety
of devices. The list can span from your ordinary printer to a CD Writer.
The parallel port is a slow port compared to some, but is the only port
available to some devices. The parallel cable can be one-way, bi-directional,
or enhanced. This applies the same as a street with cars on it. If it is
one way, the cars can only go one way. Otherwise, a bi-directional road
would have two-way traffic. Enhanced is a newer technology for the parallel
port and allows it to be faster for more demanding devices.
