I want to use the datalines coming out of a PC (compatible) computer
parallel printer port to control an experiment.  I just need on/off lines.

Has anybody done this?  And can somebody tell me (or point me to info on)
how to do it?  (C language "outp()" port calls needed, pinout on the DB25
port connector coming out of the PC, etc.)

Thanks in advance for your comments.
