Hello PICers. This is my first pic project (first project at all). I must build a dongle (hardware lock) attached to LPT. So I have some questions. 1. Is there any standard for fardware locks. 2. Is there design I can follow in my work. 3. How I can power the chip (CENTRONICS doesn't have +5V line) Any ideas ? I would appreciate any advise. Thanks, Greg P.S. I have only mailftp access. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greg Marchokov Mail to: gimar@bgtus4.vmei.acad.bg Technical Universety - Sofia 8 Rilska street, Bulgaria, Assenovgrad
