hi all, this may be off-topic. just seen the /usr/doc/howto/en/mini/Coffee.tgz and some old circuits that brought up the idea of making some converters for the parport. can someone give me hints on how to read/write the parport data & status-lines from userland like with outportb() / inportb() under dos ? want to implement some adc/dac circuits and some lcd controllers. what do i have to #include in my c file and what lib (if any) is needed ?? any links to that on the net ? thanks and greets, chris -- visit me at http://mamalala.de
