Input/output to parallel port?

markzoom

I want to input from and output to the parallel port to read switches
or turn stuff on/off.
I program Microchip PIC processors in PicBasic but am just wondering if
it's just as easy to replace a pic processor with a PC using VB.net.

Hi,

You can download IONet.dll (free) from my homepage. This wraps a device
driver that permits direct port IO.
