Its Easy to do in pascal as well as C++ using the PORT[address] command.
Ive used It before to control external devices.
A normal parralell pot has 8 outputs D0 - 7 and a few lines that you can use
as inputs (not sure which ones though?)

The port voltage is 5V so you may need some buffering...

Yeah!  You're right!  I've seen it done in Basic so I would assume C++ has • a
function.
But, I don't remeber wether they are at 12V or 5V.  (?)

Isn't your parallel port itself what you want? I always understood that • it
could be reached (coded) quite easily? That should give you 7 channels!

Is there a device that connects to a computers COM or Parallel port • that
can measure voltage, on different channels.  All I need is a digital
input like the HB.  So if there is a signal it would report true and if
there is no signal then it would report false.   I need 7 different
channels, and it has to be able to communicate with a C++ program.

Thanks
