****************Parallel Port Input & Output**************************
There are 3, 8 bit Ports Connected to the Parallel Printer Port At the Back of
your PC. This can be used quite easily for Imputing & Outputting Data to & from
the PC. Not all bits are settable so you will have to read the ports & Mask off
the Input data using AND & OR Functions.
Port &H378
These Pins are Outputs Only But their current settings may be read back using
Most Modern BASICs.
The Basic Command to Output Data onto these Pins is
Value%=21 (or whatever you require) OUT &H378,Value
The Data Output is Latched, IE once Written it stays there until overwritten by
new data.
Pin Name Port Bit Direction
2 &H378 0 > Out Current status
3 &H378 1 > Out of these
4 &H378 2 > Out Pins may also
5 &H378 3 > Out be read
6 &H378 4 > Out Back Using BASIC
7 &H378 5 > Out command
8 &H378 6 > Out X%=INP(378)
9 &H378 7 > Out Print X%
********************** Port &H37A ************************
1 Strobe &H37A 0 > OUT To Output Data
14 Auto &H37A 1 > OUT onto these Pins
16 Init &H37A 2 > OUT Use the same command
17 Slct In &H37A 3 > OUT But Port is 37A
5
4 Int En
********************** Port &H379 ************************
These Pins may be used for Input, Port Number is &H379
13 Slct &H379 4 < IN These Pins may be
11 Busy &H379 7 < IN Used for I/P to PC
12 PE &H379 5 < IN using X%=INP(&H379)
10 ACK &H379 6 < IN Print X%
15 Error &H379 3 < IN
**************************************************************
Pins 18 to 25 are Ground Pins
**************************************************************
Sending a 1 to Bit 4 of Port &H37A will enable the Printer card interrupt.
This interrupt triggers when Pin 10 goes from Hi to lo. Sending a 0 to Bit 4 of
Port &H37A will disable the Printer card interrupt.
Writing data to these ports causes Printing Problems afterwards. Either switch
PC Off the On or Use Sleep Command before Printing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Michel, F5AAJ @ F6KDS says for the status, you have to read &H378 (I wrote
X%=INP(378). You can use, too, PRINT (INP(&H378)). Idem, for the output on a
port, you can write OUT &H378,21 or OUT &H378,&H15, by example...
Why Don't U send an interesting bul?
