• "n" before the signal indicates that it is "L" active.
• Bi-directional communication is impossible if any one of the above signals is absent.
• Always use twisted-pair cables for signal lines, and connect return lines to signal ground.
• Ensure that the interface employs TTL level signals with the following mentioned characteristics, and that
signal rise and fall times are 0.5 µsec.
• Ignoring nAck and Busy signals while transferring data may result in loss of data.
• Ensure that the interface cable is of the minimum length possible.
