Parallel port

A parallel port is a computer system interface in which data is transferred in or out in parallel, that is, on more than one simultaneous wire connection. A parallel port carries one bit on each wire thus multiplying the obtainable over a single wire. There will usually be some s on the port as well to say when data is ready to be sent or received.. 1995-01-24.
