parallel port programming

Post by darrenls59 »

Hi. I'm posting this here as I note the PPP software can use the parallele port, I understand that programing the port is difficult due to win2k and xp protections so I am wondering how It's done. I am an owner of a picmicro board which is why I am posting this here but Another project I am starting on very soon will require me to programme a device via the parallel port. I will be writing the programme in assembler (8086) for the windows xp environment so I'm hoping someone can give me some suggestions on how to get started. I used to programme the ports in dos/unix and win9x but as you know, thiose tricks won't work on XP.

Thanks for any help
