     I am interested in getting information about any high-speed
interfaces between the IBM-PC and an external "box": 

  1) Can SCSI interface boards be used for other purposes than
     specifically to talk to a hard disk? 

  2) How fast can a Parallel (Printer) port transfer data?  

  3) Are there any other standard interface protocals available that one
     can buy a board to plug into the PC to communicate with an
     external "box"?

     Thanks in advance.
