Ok. Cheating to me would be to look at the code that someone else has
done to write a parallel port driver. Where would I find documentation
for common parallel port hardware? I have a Intel 440BX chipset, old I
know, on this computer.

I want to start from just having hardware and get a working driver. When
I can confirm I support all that a parallel port driver does then I will
look at the present code.
