SerIn with Parallel Port output

[mister_e]

In 2011, I would definitely not use the parallel port for a serial comm... OR at least use the whole set of pins with handshake... OR generate a synchronous comm (SPI, I2C) with the parallel port.

if your on a dos level that's cool, but in Windows, it's a bit hard, not impossible, to predict/generate the exact timing of any hardware like the Printer port. Hence why there's dedicated serial ports... For educational purpose it's cool though...
