I doubt if it will work on anything later than Windows98 and Delphi version 1. It's not that it can't be done - it's just that you can no longer get away with nasty real-mode (DOS) hacks fiddling directly with the PC's hardware IO port addresses. In later versions of Windows, you have to go via a proper driver. (actually you might be able to get away with it if your timing is entirely non-critical - but why bother?) There are drivers available - but why bother? Best to use the serial port Absolutely! Or use one of the USB device chips with a parallel microcontroller interface. Or one of the several 8051s with a built-in USB device interface. |
