Parallel PC Interface: One thing I like to do with computers is controlling hardware. Thats the reason for creating a
parallel communication interface connected to the printerport of a computer. First I started with a Z80PIO chip on a Z80CPU controlled ZX Spectrum. When I bought my first laptop I knew I would
need a compleet new interface. The Z80PIO interface had 16 channels of which each channel could be configured for input or output. Because of the limitations of the parallel port I decided to
create 16 input channels and 16 output channels.... (added 10/05)

Parallel Port Controls Arbitrary Waveform Generator: 06/13/02 EDN Design Ideas / (added 1/05) You can use
the parallel port of your PC and a few additional components to generate a powerful, easy-to-use arbitrary-waveform generator. By using a Visual Basic program with the circuit in Figure 1, you
can generate any waveform (for example, sinusoid, triangle, amplitudeor frequency-modulated, or exponential decay) by simply entering its characteristic equation....
