[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Reading Parallel Port on Toshiba T1000

boomer@athena.mit.edu (Don Alvarez) (06/21/89)

I just got a Toshiba T1000  Laptop, and the setup10 command allows
you to make the parallel port bi-directional, but the manual just says
"This option is reserved for future use, there are no programs which
make use of it", or some such.

Does the hardware really support it?  Can I just read the parallel port
the same way I read a com port?  Anyone have an example?

thanks in advance...
