In my previous posting I mentioned that I had built a 8 bit dac/adc system
to a PC I used. What I forgot to mention was that you can't read the parallel
(printer) port, without doing some rewiring on the computers motherboard.
The rewirng wasn't that simple to do and it was rather model specific, so I 
won't post the solution (even if I remembered it). But on a PS/2 you can
read and write the port rather easily. For all whom are interested i recommend
a IBM PS/2 50/60 tech ref manual.
