Yes, Phillip Lindsay of CBM wrote a program call PAROUT that demostrated how to talk to the bits on the parallel port "nicely". It used system resources and it's the way CBM would like us programmers to use. If you don't have it I can mail it to you -- it's not that large. Myself, I'd like to know if the parallel port signals (i.e. 8520 output pins) are TTL compatable or am I going to have to do some level translations before it gets to my circuit's latch? -Rusty- -- Rusty Haddock {uunet!likewise,cbosgd,rutgers!mtune}!hocpa!rusty AT&T Consumer Products Laboratories - Human Factors Laboratory Holmdel, New Joyzey 07733 (201) 834-1023 rusty@hocpa.att.com
