I believe that will require a bi-directional port. 
Not the old ones, they wrote 8 bits out and did "nybble-i/o" in for
non-bidirectional parallel ports. Makes them significantly slower on
transfer rate but their still faster than an RX50 :-)

Still, the LPV11 does not have a lines the average PC port has
with respect to bidirectionality and that includes some of the
control lines.
