Parallel Port:
An eight-bit port usually used for connecting a printer.
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect):
Local bus for PCs provide a high-speed data path between the CPU and peripherals (video, disk,
network, etc.). The PCI bus coexists in the PC with the ISA or EISA bus. ISA and EISA boards
still plug into an ISA or EISA slot, while high-speed. PCI controllers plug into a PCI slot. The PCI
bus runs at 25, 30 or 33 MHz, supports 32-bit and 64-bit data paths and bus mastering. The first
PCs with PCI buses became available toward the end of 1993.
