hi guys..
i need to connect an external circuit to the parallel port on my PC..
now i need codes for sending/recieving data through this port.. i couldnt find any good codes.. all what i could find was describtion how the port works and the registers of it. I want CODE examples and applications of circuit i can connect and use my parallel port in it. wer i can find that???
PS: is it true that i shouldnt directly connect anything to the port directly? becoz if the port got damaged i will need to change the whole motherboard?? what things can damage the port???
thanx
