It seems to me like you are disregarding the fact that some pins are
inputs and others are outputs. For example, connecting nStrobe to
nStrobe won't work because they are both of the same type.
I think there are some common designs for 8 bit parallel cables. They
connect the data lines to the data lines (on recent parallel ports the
data lines are usually bidirectional) and use the unidirectional signals
for handshaking. I don't have a link to a precise description of one of
these cables, but I expect that a little googling should help. I also
expect that the software for these cables is already available.
