Lyn 2: [[Beeld:Parallel_computer_printer_port.jpg\|thumb\|right\|250px\|'n Parallelle poort aan die agterkant van 'n Compaq N150 skootrekenaar.]] Die [[Universele Seriebus\|USB]] koppelvlak het die parallelle poort grootliks vervang en deesdae word die meeste drukkers met 'n USB verbinding gekoppel en word soms nie eens met 'n parallelle poort voorsien nie. Op baie moderne rekenaars word die parallelle poort ook uitgelaat om kostes te bespaar. ==Gebruike== Parallelle poorte word dikwels gebruik deur [[mikroverwerker]]s om met randtoestelle te [[kommunikasie\|kommunikeer]]. Die mees algemeenste soort parallelle poort is 'n [[rekenaardrukker\|drukkerspoort]] soos die [[Centronics]] poort wat agt bisse op 'n slag oordra. [[Hardeskyf\|Hardeskywe]] word ook deur middel van spesiale tipe parallelle poorte aan die rekenaar gekoppel, soos onder andere die [[SCSI]] en [[ATA]] tegnologieë. Wanneer mense egter na 'n parallelle poort verwys, word daar gewoonlik spesifiek na die drukkerspoort op 'n [[IBM Persoonlike rekenaar]] verwys. <!-- Moet nog vertaal word However, when people refer to a parallel port, they are usually referring to a printer port, either on a printer or a [[IBM PC compatible\|PC]]. For the most part, the [[USB]] interface has replaced the parallel port — [[as of 2006]], most modern printers are connected through a USB connection, and often don't even have a parallel port connection. On many modern computers, the parallel port is omitted for cost savings, and is considered to be a [[legacy port]]. ~~==Uses==~~ Parallel ports are most often used by [[microprocessor]]s to [[communication\|communicate]] with peripheral devices. The most common kind of parallel port is a [[computer printer\|printer]] port, such as a [[Centronics]] connector based port which transfers eight bits at a time. [[Disk drive]]s are also connected via special parallel ports, such as those used by the [[SCSI]] and [[Advanced Technology Attachment\|ATA]] technlogies. However, when people refer to a parallel port, they are usually referring to a printer port, either on a printer or a [[IBM PC compatible\|PC]]. Before [[USB]] connections became widespread on mass-market computers, many external devices, such as portable disk drives for [[Microsoft windows]] and [[MS-DOS]] systems, used a pass-through connector--><!--which is what, exactly?--><!-- so the device could share a parallel port with a printer. This was done because mass-market Windows boxes of the era lacked any equivalent of the SCSI connections then common on some other platforms; the only convenient connection was usually the single printer port.The parallel port of an IBM PC-compatible computer is, by far, the most common standard computer port that brings standard computer logic voltages directly out to a set of pins. It is much beloved by experimenters and engineers who often use it for inexpensive computer controlled projects. The standard logic voltage, 5 volts DC, is virtually harmless. On the other hand, the parallel port's circuitry is in general quite fragile; appropriate care must be taken to avoid damaging it.
