Overview The Parallel Printer Card (Model PIOC) is a bi-directional parallel port for a standard IBM PC or compatible. The PIOC is single port card that can be used as a printer interface or as a general input/output port for any device. The base port address of the card can be set for any address from 0 to 3FC hexadecimal. This allows the card to be located at the standard parallel port addresses, as well as any other unused address. The PIOC can have up to 12 digital TTL compati

Using the PIOC as I/O The PIOC may also be used as a general I/O device. The Base Register has eight bi-directional lines. The direction of these lines is based on bit 5 of the Control Register. If bit 5 of the Control Register is a “1”, then the lines of the Base Register are defined as inputs. If bit 5 of the Control Register is a “0”, then these lines are defined as outputs (this is default state after “boot up”). If the Base Register is being used as outputs, the states of the l
