= Introduction =

The OnSpec 90c26 was used on Adara and Microtek flatbed scanners in the
late 1990s as a parallel port to SCSI adapter.

= IBM-style Parallel Port Information =

==Port Registers==

Port R/W IOAddr Bits Function
---------- ------ ----- ----------------
Data Out W Base+0 D0-D7 8 LS TTL outputs
Status In R Base+1 S3-S7 5 LS TTL inputs
Control Out W Base+2 C0-C3 4 TTL Open Collector outputs
" " " C4 internal, IRQ enable
" " " C5 internal, Tristate data [PS/2]

Data Feedback R Base+0 D0-D7 matches Data Out
Control Feedbk R Base+2 C0-C3 matches Control Out
" " " C4 internal, IRQ enable readback

The Feedback registers are for diagnostic purposes (except in bidirectional
ports, where Data Feedback is used for data input; and the IRQ enable C4).

==Pin signals and register bits==

<= 11 11 +Busy S7- High for Busy/Offline/Error
<= 12 12 +PaperEnd S5+ High for out of paper
<= 13 13 +SelectIn S4+ High for printer selected
=> 14 14 -AutoFd C1- Set Low to autofeed one line
<= 15 32 -Error S3+ Low for Error/Offline/PaperEnd
=> 16 31 -Init C2+ Set Low pulse > 50uS to init
=> 17 36 -Select C3- Set Low to select printer
== 18-25 19-30, Ground
33,17,16

Note: Some cables, ports, or connectors may not connect all grounds.
Centronics pins 19-30 and 33 are "twisted pair return" grounds, while
17 is "chassis ground" and 16 is "logic ground".

"<= In" and "=> Out" are defined from the viewpoint of the PC, not the
printer. The IRQ line (-Ack/S6+) is positive edge triggered, but only
enabled if C4 is 1.

Here's the same data grouped for ease of reference by Control Out and Status
In registers and pins. (Data Out is straightforward in previous table).
