Item: Parallel Port Complete
Part Number: PC-CMPT
Price: $38.00 ea

Virtually every PC has a parallel port that serves as a printer interface. But you can use the parallel port for much more than this, including interfacing to control circuits, data-acquisition devices, and instrumentation. Parallel Port Complete is a complete guide to using and programming the PC's parallel port.

Topics include:

Basic reading and writing to the original Centronics-type port and PS/2-type bi-directional ports. How to use the new enhanced (EPP) and extended-capabilities (ECP) modes. What's in the IEEE-1284 standard for parallel ports. Port access in Visual Basic under Windows 3.x and Windows 95. Cable design for faster transmitting and longer links. How to be sure your program and interface will work with any port.

Another "Outstanding" book by Jan Axelson.
