Hello,

Has anybody seriously considered implementing ECP/EPP support for PLIP?
This was suggested to me as a term project (I'm a Computer Engineering
undergradute student, and this is my senior year), so I started studying
these ports' handshaking and I'm having trouble trying to design a
parallel cable that could do the job (establish a bidirectional data
channel) under either mode (it doesn't seem quite feasible without extra
circuitry, something I was trying to avoid).

So, I'm asking if you have any hint or a good idea to give me on this.
No, I'm not asking you to do my project for me :)

Any other improvement you think could be made to PLIP would also be
welcome.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
