Friends
what I would like to do is address individual serial port pins to run an
external device from a c or pascal program.
eg on program command "X" pin 1 will go high (?+5V) and on command "Y"
pin 1 will go to ground.
Is this possible and if so how? If not serial port pins then any other
port?
If this is the wrong news group I sincerely apologise - please tell me
where to go (nicely!).
Many thanks in advance for any help.  ps I get out of my depth on pc
technicals very quickly!!
Rgds
Tim
