I suggest you use Matt Dillon's parnet.device, which allows multiple
processes to share the parallel port and write to/read from up to 255 
other Amigas hooked up on the parallel port.  If you're accessing something
besides another Amiga, you can at least look at the code for pointers -
I believe he has released the assembly source.
