Using a [[8255 PPI chip]] with 24 I/O lines is possibly the most expensive and overcomplicated 8bit Printer Port solution, especially as the circuit uses only 10 of the 24 signals (it implements on only Data, Strobe, and Busy - other Centronics signals like Error, Ack, Select, etc. aren't connected).
'''Note''' - The same magazine released a number of different [[8bit Printer Ports|8bit Printer Port]] solutions: A [[CPCI 8bit Printer Mod|joystick-signal based one]] (simple & messy), the Happy Computer [[Happy Computer 8bit Printer Mod|cassette-write based one]] (simple & elegant), and the [[Scheiderware]] one (complex & expensive).
