I've never had the opportunity to use this, but it looks like it might do what you all want http://www.winfordeng.com/products/portio32/
You'll probably have to google a bit for how to get the parallel port in the mode that you want to use. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Spencer Chase Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2006 12:23 AM To: perl-win32-users@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Re: Parallel Port module Greetings perl-win32-users, I have gotten Scott Penrose's parallel port module to work on win32 and can set data bits reliably. I can not figure out any way to read status bits from the port. The documentation is virtually lacking. Methods for set_status and get_status are referenced but there is no information as to how to use them. I have read the source code of all of the parallel port modules and can not find clues anywhere. Does anyone have any information on these methods or an example of how to read the status and control bits? -- Best regards, Spencer Chase mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 67550 Bell Springs Rd.
