Hello Jim,
I would think that one of you bit-bangers could design a USB-to-LPT
device and then write software to take parallel port commands and
convert them to USB (and back). No?
I was told by a (pretty good) Windows programmer that such a task of
near realtime control via USB can quickly turn into a major nightmare.
Deadline is near, stuff don't work, coffee, more coffee, Prozac...
You have to deal with numerous intricacies of Windows, a product that
isn't exactly known for flawlessness. Plus I guess the market potential
for a bitbang capable device would be slim.
So bit-bangers aren't up to analog-level design ?:-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
