Hello to you Terry, I wish you a nice day !

 KH> Has anyone done 8-bit file transfers via the PC's parallel port?

        I used to do a lot of this before using a DCC that is a poorman's
 LAN. It worked quite nicely. The cable was mated to the LPT1 connector
 on the two systems. Have not done any lately as I am now on a real LAN.
 My three systems are on NICs 10/100.   Much better. One of them, a
 Thinkpad, is on wireless LAN.

        The DCC is built-in Windows, not the cable though, but it is
 available on eBay for not too many $$.
