Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Parallel Port Interface

[Jeff Rush]

I don't have personal experience, but a few google searches yielded that 
the max ISA-bus rate is 2 MBps and max PCI-bus rate is 5.5-6 MBps, using 
the newer parallel modes where the CPU is not really involved.  You'll 
have to test though as some motherboards place the parallel port on the 
ISA-bus (most common) and some place it on the PCI bus, internal to the 
motherboard chipset.

Based on what I read at:
