I am in the process of writing a program that will time slot cars around my basement track for Linux. In doing this, it is becoming apparent that I need to have pretty good access to my parallel port - so much so that not many other processes can be running at the same time.
Thank you so much to everyone for all the advice, especially the hardware specific advice. As much as I hate to admit it, it seems that good ole' command.com (DOS) on a bootable diskette is going to be my operating system for this project. At least it fits on a diskette, is relatively fast, and has direct access to all of the ports that I need. Now to dig up an old bootable diskette. :-) Thanks again, Stuart Hall -- Stuart Hall Cheshire, Connecticut, USA Linux User# 141732 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
