Yes you can. The easiest way is to use some of the digital inputs and
connect them to the parallel port pins. Then using QuickBasic or any

want to use the serial port then I think you have to kick IC out as it will
try to use the serial port for its console. To do that you have to switch
to ICC11 or GCC and program the HB directly.
