Bit D7 is the MSB. DRW: This line is driven high by the Lisa to indicate that data is expected to be input on the data lines. It is driven low to indicate that data is being output PARITY: Bidirectional line which must be configured on the basis of the data currently on the data lines to give odd parity PSTRB: Processor strobe line used as a signal by the Lisa to indicate valid data being output. CMD: This line is asserted by the Lisa to indicate that a command has been placed on the data lines. BSY: This line is asserted by the peripheral to indicate to the Lisa that it is busy and unable to process commands on the interface. OCD: The Lisa monitors this line. If it is high, it is assumed that no device is connected to the interface. CRES: This line is asserted by the Lisa when the peripheral is to be reset to its power-on state. CHK: This signal may be used to interrupt the CPU in the event that a fault condition has occurred in the device connected to the interface. NOTE: These pinouts apply to both the upper and lower connector of a two port parallel card installed in a Lisa or Macintosh XL.
