Duh.The parallel port is just an eight bit wide bi-directional TTL level digital bus.
Thanks,...Moe said:In a nutshell:
Its the rather large port on the back of your PC. Nowadays it is mostly used to connect a printer to your computer. It is possible to network two PCs via parallel ports, but that is not very fast. In general, USB and PS/2 have mostly replaced parallel ports in day-to-day usage.
A computer port is a connection point on a computer that allows devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, or printer, to be connected and communicate with the computer.
You can play around with your computer's port by connecting different devices to it and testing their functionality. You can also use specialized software to monitor and manipulate the data that is transmitted through the port.
Playing around with your computer's port can help you understand how different devices communicate with your computer and how data is transferred between them. It can also help you troubleshoot any issues you may be having with a particular device or port.
As long as you are using proper precautions, such as using reputable software and not connecting any potentially harmful devices, it is generally safe to play around with your computer's port. However, if you are unsure or uncomfortable, it is always best to consult a professional.
There are some risks involved in playing around with your computer's port, such as accidentally damaging the port or connected devices, or potentially exposing your computer to malware. It is important to proceed with caution and have a backup plan in case any issues arise.
