I have been kicking an idea around for a cheap-and-dirty lab interface
using the parallel printer port as both an output and input channel.

I think that I have heard of this being done. The problem is, I have no
idea how to do it. I have books "Writing MS-DOS Device Drivers" and
"C Programmer's Guide to Serial Communications." What I would like to 
find is a similar book that talks about how to make a Centronics
parallel port and/or GPIB (IEEE-488) strut its stuff. 
Where do I look to find this kind of information? A leading reference
that I can take to intrelibrary loan would be ideal.

Please e-mail responses to uunet!weyrich!orville or orville%weyrich@uunet.uu.net
and I will summarize to the net.

Thanks,

Orville.
