Interfacing to the IBM-PC Parallel Port

Want to use a PC for remote control? Building a robot? Need to read "real world" data (such as temperature, pressure, etc.) into a PC's parallel printer port? This web page is well written for technicians, engineers, scientists and hobbyists alike who need to interface to their parallel printer port for any reason. Color pin-out diagrams, types of parallel ports, C and BASIC programming considerations, code samples, circuit schematics and project plans are all included here. Excellent how-to for stepper motor control, D-A and A-D conversion, and data transfer between PCs are a few of the subjects covered in detail. Definitely a must-read for anyone interested in these subjects.
