I need to know how to access the port through the software so I can transmit and receive asynchronous data. I have skimmed through IM I-III and have become very confused. I was wondering if anybody out there knows how to read and write data to the port. I am writing the program in LSP and I just need to interface my circuit to the Mac. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am just very confused about how to open buffers, lock them, dereference, coerce, read from, write to, etc. Thanks -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Mike Schy SCHY@OSU-20.IRCC.OHIO-STATE.EDU What about the time you were falling over, fell on your face, must be having fun!
