Abstract
A method and apparatus for improving communication capability between computer devices and peripherals scans a data signal for a valid synchronizing sequence. If no valid synchronizing sequence is detected within a predetermined amount of time, the polarity of the data signal is inverted. Polarity of the data signal is latched when a valid synchronizing sequence is detected. In another aspect of the invention, a header block that receives a connector also includes a first wire bus and a second wire bus. Jumpers are employed to connect the first pin of the connector to the first wire bus and the second pin of the connector to the second wire bus.
