	On the KC compact the parallel port is connected to Port A of the ~~Z8536~~ CIO.		On the KC compact the parallel port is connected to Port A of the CIO.

	It is a general purpose I/O port. All 8-bits can be used for input or output. The input/output of each bit can be programmed. With standard setup, bit 7 is assigned to /STROBE, and bits 0-6 are assigned to Printer DATA, making a 7-bit printer port. Additionally, the 8th printer bit is implemented via Bit5 of PIO Port C (see [[8bit Printer Ports]]).		It is a general purpose I/O port. All 8-bits can be used for input or output.
