The present invention relates to a communication system comprising a first device 101 having an interface adapted to be connected via a parallel connection 100 to a corresponding interface of a second device 102, the first and second devices being adapted to communicate via said parallel connection using a first predetermined communication protocol involving feedback. The system further comprises an intermediate connection 200c having fewer lines than said parallel connection, and first 200a and second 200b adapters connected together via the intermediate connection and being adapted to communicate using a second predetermined communication protocol not involving feedback. The first and second adapters are co-operable so that, when the first and second devices communicate, the first and second adapters perform emulation of the interfaces of the first and second devices. Therefore, the communication appears to the first and second devices as if the first predetermined communication protocol is being used. |
