 I've always wanted to do the same sort of thing for
RX02's; fool my
RXV211 into thinking a PC at the other end of the ribbon cable is a
pair of RX02's.  It seems feasible using just a parallel port;
despite the width of the ribbon cable, it doesn't carry many signals. 

Why must it be a parallel port?  a M8250 serial would work too though
a new "RX" driver to talk to it would be needed.  Also the RX01
controller
is serial not parallel so that could be used in a different way.  In the
end
any IO can be used if you create a driver to fake a known device.
