How OT can this be?  Anyway it depends on your definition of "any".
I did some fooling with GPIB a LONG time ago (remember the Osborne
computer?) I have a dim memory of bit banging but also a magic
controller chip of some sort.  I suspect I got the protocol
by reading the sheets on the chip and then implemented the
bit-bang.  I do have a recollection of chainging the direction
of signal lines, and "talkers" and "listeners".  It was to
make a 9-track tape drive work.  It WAS entertaining.

So if I see a question I know the answer to, I'll chime in. Worth
a shot I guess.
