ParNet talks to the parallel port directly through the hardware after getting the appropriate ciaa resources. It is not possible to run ParNet over parallel.device or PAR: due to its bidirectional nature. But, all is not lost. If Jeff's I/O port board provides interrupts for ACK and is bidirectional, you shouldn't have too much trouble porting the ParNet code. The source code to ParNet is provided as-in via FTP to uunet.uu.net in the amiga-sources/dillon directory -Matt -- Matthew Dillon dillon@Overload.Berkeley.CA.US 891 Regal Rd. uunet.uu.net!overload!dillon Berkeley, Ca. 94708 USA
