Layout
It consists in a one-side PCB of dimensions :

X=60.96 mm
Y=55.88 mm

Bill of material :
ICs : 74HC05 or 74HC07 (6 Open-Collector Inverters)
Zener diode of 5.6 V (protection of supply voltage)
7x Diodes (1N4148 or equivalent) (for a self powered interface)
Resistors :
2x 220 Ω 1/4W
2x 270 Ω 1/4W
47 Ω 1/4W

RSIL 10 kΩ
RSIL 330 Ω (for a self powered interface)
Capacitors
10 µF Tantalum
2x 56 pF (optionnal)

Software use
On a traditional PC, parallel ports have the following base address :
LPT1 : @base = 0x378
LPT2 : @base = 0x278
It is preferable to use a standard port (eg not in ECP or EPP mode)

If you want to power the interface you must write a ‘1’ in bits D0 to D6 (@ = @base)

Writing SDA is done by setting D7 (@ = @base)

Reading SDA is done by reading SELECT line (bit 7 of @base+1)

Writing SCL is done by setting D7 (bit 3 of @base+2)

Reading SCL is done by reading SELECT line (bit 3 of @base+1)
