Yes, Phillip Lindsay of CBM wrote a program call PAROUT that
demostrated how to talk to the bits on the parallel port "nicely".
It used system resources and it's the way CBM would like us
programmers to use. If you don't have it I can mail it to you --
it's not that large.
Myself, I'd like to know if the parallel port signals (i.e. 8520
output pins) are TTL compatable or am I going to have to do some
level translations before it gets to my circuit's latch?
