The computer acts as master and the peripheral as slave.

Any transfer is defined as a finite state machine.
It allows software to
properly manage the fully interlocked scheme of the signaling method.
The compatible mode is supported "as is" without any negotiation because it

termination, transfer in any mode without bothering you with low level
characteristics of the standard.
.Pp
IEEE1284 interacts with the ppbus system as little as possible.
That means
you still have to request the ppbus when you want to access it, the negotiate
function doesn't do it for you.

This architecture should support IEEE1284-1994 modes.
