Hi,
If you want to do that, there is a better way (if you want
to write the C code for it). I use IO.DLL which allows you
to do inp, outp in user space. There are several of these types
of DLLs, but this one seems to be popular:

This allows you to port those old dos programs directly over to
XP as a console program. Very handy....
Cheers,
Ram

Hi
I've been wondering. If I use one of these tools
will it allow me to have things like the bi-directional
control of the parallel port? I use the parallel port
to connect to an older paper tape reader. Does it
really emulate access to hardware or just the more
standard useages like serial ports?
