The trick is that with double edged filtering and EPP 1.9, the FPGA controls the timing so crosstalk causes no trouble for writes because the signals are all quiet when the data is sampled. On reads the parallel port will sample the data near the edge of /WAIT. The /WAIT line has interleaved grounds in the flat cable, avoiding wait/data crosstalk.
