[rtl] Parallel Communication

[Andrew Hooper]

I put together a small application using turbo c, the application was designed to run on a simple dos machine and counts the pulses input from one device hanging directly off the parallel port.   Once the the device has reached a count of X, the strobe line is dropped low until the ACK pin is pulled low. (the device inputs approx 5000 pulses per second)   I was trying to rewrite the application for Linux, then found out that I could due to the way the interrupts are handled, So I decided to install RT-Linux :)   Now IM totally lost, is anyone able to point me in the right direction or has anyone got an example that's similar to what IM trying to do so I can pull it apart and play..   Regards Andrew
