I have built a little kit from DSE (part no K2805) that connects to the parallel port and allows control and reading of of external circuits (Digital/Analog conversion, etc). The instructions in the kit are for QBASIC and the general idea is to read and write directly to/from the parallel port adresses. eg
OUTP &H0378,DATA OUTP &H0379, MOREDATA etc etc. Naturally I want to do something in linux, preferably from a higher level language such as python (I have never learned c and don't propose to if i can avoid it). Forth would be fine too. Can you interface directly to the parallel port from such languages? Or am I going to have to get to know c? -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
