Data_Strobe_L

Data Strobe Low

Set low during forward

 

 

 

channel transfers to latch data

 

 

 

into peripheral device. Set

 

 

 

high during reverse channel

 

 

 

transfers.

2 to 9

Data[0..7]

Data0 Through

The main data bus for the

 

 

Data7

parallel port. Data0 is the least

 

 

 

significant bit (LSB). These bits

 

 

 

are not used during reverse

 

 

 

channel transfers.

10

ACK_L
