Abstract
A parallel port to serial digital fiber link converter has a first high speed communications port connected to a first shift register for converting a serial digital signal, received from a first digital device via a first high speed communications link, to a parallel signal and transferring it to a personal computer via a parallel port. A second shift register and second high speed communications port are used for converting parallel data, retrieved via the parallel port of the personal computer, into serial digital data and sending it to a second digital device via a second high speed communications link for storage or playback.
