[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] ----Parallel Port for I/O ?

sl@cns.umist.ac.uk (Stuart Lea) (05/20/91)

I've seen programs which use the parallel printer port LPT1 for I/O
Has anyone got any info as to how this can be done.  If this has been 
asked lots of times then sorry, I'm new to this lark.  

	Any pointers will be most appreciated.

		Thanks
		
Stuart.

BYTE magazine (July 1990 (or maybe it was June)) had an article for connecting
nintendo controllers to the parallel port.
