If just a printer is plugged into your PC's parallel port, you're missing a lot of potential uses. The port can support Zip and Syquest drives, scanners, and sophisticated devices like servo motors and microcontrollers. But the complexity of Windows 95 made it tough to take advantage of such interfacing -- until now. This guide clearly shows how to use Visual Basic to access the parallel port. Covering all relevant hardware and programming issues, it's even organized by device so users can quickly zero in on what interests them.
