I was hoping that the ST printer port was bidirectional, but I have seen
no documentation for it.  The ST manual shows only one set of data pins
on the printer socket, and the developer's kit only talks about writing
to the printer, not reading from it.  So:

What are the pins on the printer socket for doing input to the ST?
What does the software interface look like?  Is it the obvious thing
(using one of the BIOS input routines with the the printer device)?
