The printer port is uni-directional (grumble)

(GRUMBLE) I recently saw a parallel port based SCSI interface which
is meant for Amiga systems but (GRUMBLE) would work if the 7300
parallel port were bi-directional.

BTW, I am very interested in porting SLIP to 3b1's (and a few
other related jobs in making a reasonable TCP/IP) ... BUT I simply
don't have the time.
