Hello! Accessing the ports is easy. I did it with serial ports (build in and usb) under Linux and Windows.
See the following links about how to du it. http://www.rxtx.org/ RXTX : serial and parallel I/O libraries supporting Sun's CommAPI http://rxtx.qbang.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Main Page - Rxtx http://wass.homelinux.net/howtos/Comm_How-To.shtml Java Comm Serial API How-To for Linux Hjave a nice Weekend Peter -- Dipl.-Ing.

How can one access the parallel port of a java laptop? How can one access /dev/parport0? How is hardware represented in java? By standard classes? Which ones? By gateway to an executable(?) underlying the JVM? What is the protocol/class/...? Can you (dis)recommend books/urls/... for learning hardware access with java? My goal is to add a graphical user interface to some existing command-line c++ diagnostic software, or preferrably port the diagnostic software to java. TIA, -- Dr. Robert J.
