Let me see if I can summarize. - You want to simulate a device that attaches to a parallel port, and you want to write that simulation in jHDL or Verilog. - You want to hook that simulation up to a PC emulator so that you can write the *real* device driver for your simulated device, and use that as the test bench. Kool idea. Personally, all my devices are either PCI-* or USB, but linking an emulated parallel port to a simulator would be an easier first project and would demonstrate the idea nicely. The passage of time is going to be an interesting one for you. -- Steve Williams "The woods are lovely, dark and deep. steve at icarus.com But I have promises to keep, http://www.icarus.com and lines to code before I sleep, http://www.picturel.com And lines to code before I sleep." _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
