Hello all,
I don't mean to offend anyone, but I though this
might be of interest to members of this list.
I have developed an NT 4.0 driver/dll
combination that allows safe direct IO access to parallel ports from usermode
programs i.e. standard win32 apps.
This might allow programming software to migrate
more quickly to the NT environment (hence my note to the list).
Features:
- One function call is all that is required to
claim the parallel port.
- Safely claims port to ensure no disturbance to
printing jobs or
other drivers using the NT parallel
port allocation scheme.
- Timing much better than 16bit dos emulation
mode,
(but not quite as good as true
kernel mode).
- Very reasonably priced per
copy or royalty free product license available.
Email me privately if anyone is
interested.
Thanks for your time.
