I've been using the parallel port device and it will only hang during read. My sampler works fine with the AudiomasterII program but maybe that program reads from the parallel port direct without going through the parallel.device . Does any one know how to do this or have any clues ? A sampler is _not_ a standard parallel port device. Parallel.device will almost certainly be confused by it (it's always got data ready.). You have to read the hardware direct, preferably using a CIA timer to insure the correct sampling frequency. Be sure to allocate the resources you're going to use before you touch them. BTW, if you've got a perfect sound 3.0, you've got serious problems.
