'''The Parallel Port''' is the 14th level in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]]. This level is quite notable for being the first time [[invalid tile]] combinations are featured in an official level.

In the case of The Parallel Port, [[Item|boots]], [[key]]s, and the single [[computer chip]] are hidden under [[blue wall]]s, generally in a 60-degree south-southeast formation, which is hinted at by the level name.

Play 3:[R 2D], collecting only the [[ice skates]], then off this space DR 4D UD to collect the [[Computer chip|chip]]. Continue D 2R and head upwards in an identical fashion - 4U R 2:[2U R] - collecting a [[blue key]] on the way, and then R and ''all the way down'' - 8:[2D R]. At this point, [[Chip]] must wait for a [[tank]]; continue [4] 2R U to reveal a pair of [[flippers]]. Keep moving 2U R, in accordance with the tanks, to collect [[fire boots]] as well, and pass the [[recessed wall]], then reverse to 2D R to burst through the [[socket]] and follow to the [[exit]].

Notice that the [[suction boots]] are not required because the [[force floor]] is against the [[ice]] corner, so Chip can simply step off the force floor after skating over the ice corner; this will save [1] over collecting them.

Notice that the [[suction boots]] are not required in MS because the [[force floor]] is against the [[ice]] corner, so Chip can simply step off the force floor after skating over the ice corner. This will save [1] over collecting them, allowing Chip to make one mistake.

In [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2 (Lynx)|CCLXP2]], the items under the fake blue walls were moved onto the upper layer in the areas surrounding the fake walls they were originally under. The [[thief]] at the start was also removed, as it served no purpose.
The items buried under blue walls make The Parallel Port unplayable in [[Lynx]] rules.
