is it possible to program the parallel port(s) in such a way that an interrupt
is generated when a character is output? can the parallel port also be used
as an input device, and if so, is an interrupt generated when a character
arrives?

any book recommendations/reviews that deal extensively with serial/parallel
i/o are welcome. thanx in advance...
