As far as I remember, there is open collector output on parallel port, so your wish impossible %-)
Try "-" batteryes to ground, "+" batteries to "+" LED and "-" LED to data. And remember - you probably blow up your port, if not use current restrictor, usually resistor. I advice to replace LED with voltmeter in parallel with 2..5 Kohm resistor instead. -- @BABOLO http://links.ru/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
