I didn't even notice that the 4-bit cable also used status lines, until
you posted your schematic. An embarrassing oversight on my part, when
considering that the exclusive use of status registers would be the only
way to achieve a bidirectional flow of information, when using
'unidirectional' ports. Thanks for pointing it out, Andy.
