I've written code in Turbo Pascal to interface to I2C bus via the parallel
port, I wouldn't say it's complete yet, but it does work and could be altered
quite easily. I've only tested it with 24C02/04/08/16 EEPROM's and the PCF8583
clock chip, but it should work with any I2C slave chips OK.

Since then I've seen mention of two programs from Philips, TV400.ZIP and
RAD216.ZIP, that you can download from their FTP site - but I've never
managed to find them anywhere :-(.
