We plan to use the AMIGA parallel port for I/O from/to a class project.  Since
the project involves the sampling of sound, we would like the sampling circuit
to generate an interrupt request upon the completion of each sampling.  Would
someone please answer the following questions.

    1. What rate can the parallel port handle I/O?
    2. How can one generate an interrupt so each sampling is handled
       immediately upon completion?

We will be developing our own software to process the samples and push the
samples through the parallel to an D/A conversion circuit.

Thanks for help provided.
