Hi Folks,
If there are no dissenters, I am about to try and add simple parallel
printer support to plex86 (once I've got it working under Bochs).
If anyone else is already doing this please let me know.
At the moment, my only real concern is preventing a virtual interrupt
storm to the guest. Although I can add in delays (which I see the
keyboard driver does in places), the best bet would be to emulate an
ECP. The problem with this is that I would have to emulate a printer as
well, due to the ECP being bi-directional and the driver expecting to be
able to chat with the printer.
Hmmm.
I'll just go for a plain uni-directional port for now (pending
comments).
Bryan
