You'd probably need to jumper your IO card into EPP/ECP mode and directly access the parallel port hardware.
A have plenty of documentation on how the original Sinclair QL worked
(and know where to get more), but none on the Q60's ISA system and I/O card. Please could someone tell me where to buy the documentation? That said the manual that comes with the Q60 is better than Wintel PC documentation. The manual needs to be used in conjuction with passed QL manuals, while I know there will be few Q60 owners who are new to the QL, we all hope there are some.
There's nothing "to buy". You should download the tech ref manual from the website <URL:http://www.q40.de/
Also have a look into the serial/par driver on the SMSQ/E sources to see how things are accessed. If you don't have that a very good reference is QDOS classic's sources from Mark Swift's site:
<URL:http://www.mswift.unisonplus.net/ql/>
Also be advised that Peter does not read QL-Users (he unsubscribed again AFAIK) so you should direct other questions to the ql-developers mailing list (if you expect him to answer via the list)... or of course directly to his email.
Finally the Qx0 manual that I am producing currently will be a full replacement manual for use with SMSQ/E and Qx0 so you won't have to resort to prior material.
