Do you know of any literature describing a "direct parallel bus
interface" and / or provide an exact definition for a "direct parallel
bus interface"?

Good luck on the search!

Is this sort of site helpful to you...?

You'll note that it describes a Parallel Bus Interface operating in direct mode.

Please let us know if this is they type of literature you are seeking,
or if you're after something different.

Thanks.

Not exactly. I'm not looking for component specs. I'm more interested
in any literature (articles, publications, user's manuals, etc) that
can describe or define a "direct parallel bus interface".

Thanks

Hello,

A "direct parallel bus interface" is simply "connecting two computer
together with a single parallel cable".  Parallel cables, AKA LPT, are
slow cables with big connectors that people used to use for their old
printers.  Under XP's "Network Connection Wizard", you may use direct
linking technology such as this to connect the two computers together
on a network.

Here's a link describing networking with this technology:
