The Peripheral Interchange Program (PIP) is a standard protocol that was developed in the 1970s for data transfer between peripheral devices and computers, specifically in the context of digital communication. PIP was primarily used in systems designed to facilitate the transfer of data between different types of peripheral devices (like disk drives, printers, and other input/output devices) and mainframe computers or other computing systems.
