java writers, I am a java newbie.
How can one access the parallel port of a java laptop? How can one access /dev/parport0? How is hardware represented in java? By standard classes? Which ones? By gateway to an executable(?) underlying the JVM? What is the protocol/class/...? Can you (dis)recommend books/urls/... for learning hardware access with java? My goal is to add a graphical user interface to some existing command-line c++ diagnostic software, or preferrably port the diagnostic software to java. TIA, -- Dr. Robert J.
