Decompression simply intercepts the RLE byte and repeats the following byte the specified number of times. Hardware
support for compression is optional.

DESCRIPTION
During write operations nStrobe registers data or address into the slave on
the asserting edge (handshakes with Busy).
Contains address or data or RLE data.
Indicates valid data driven by the peripheral when asserted. This signal
handshakes with nAutoFd in reverse.
This signal deasserts to indicate that the peripheral can accept data. This
signal handshakes with nStrobe in the forward direction. In the reverse
direction this signal indicates whether the data lines contain ECP
command information or data. The peripheral uses this signal to flow
control in the forward direction. It is an "interlocked" handshake with
nStrobe. PeriphAck also provides command information in the reverse
direction.
Used to acknowledge a change in the direction the transfer (asserted =
forward). The peripheral drives this signal low to acknowledge
nReverseRequest. It is an "interlocked" handshake with nReverseRequest.
The host relies upon nAckReverse to determine when it is permitted to
drive the data bus.
Indicates printer on line.
Requests a byte of data from the peripheral when asserted, handshaking
with nAck in the reverse direction. In the forward direction this signal
indicates whether the data lines contain ECP address or data. The host
drives this signal to flow control in the reverse direction. It is an
"interlocked" handshake with nAck. HostAck also provides command
information in the forward phase.
Generates an error interrupt when asserted. This signal provides a
mechanism for peer-to-peer communication. This signal is valid only in the
forward direction. During ECP Mode the peripheral is permitted (but not
required) to drive this pin low to request a reverse transfer. The request is
merely a "hint" to the host; the host has ultimate control over the transfer
direction. This signal would be typically used to generate an interrupt to
the host CPU.
Sets the transfer direction (asserted = reverse, deasserted = forward).
This pin is driven low to place the channel in the reverse direction. The
peripheral is only allowed to drive the bi-directional data bus while in ECP
Mode and HostAck is low and nSelectIn is high.
Always deasserted in ECP mode.
