Help! I am working on an interactive installation and I need to get input from external devices into the amiga.... Fairly simple actually I have a series of optical sensors which I need to connect to the amiga so I can tell if they are on or off... I need to know what to read on how to accomplish this?? Everything Ive seen is very IBM specific.... Are there any books for the amiga dealing with this? Which port would be the one to use? Ser, Par, or Joy ? Any help appreciated! Thanx Chris

Either the parallel port or the joystick ports are good for general purpose I/O....check out the Hardware Reference Manual. -- Dan Babcock

I'v elooked in the RKM's for parallel port programming, and sending and receiving blocks of bytes seems pretty easy. But, I need more info on the timing of the STROBE and ACK lines that come out of the parallel port so I can design a TTL circuit to either feed bytes and receive them in streams. Where can I get this info?
