That's what I thought, good to know I was on the right track.
The hp300 printer port (HP986PP) is an interesting beast. It has a fifo which
controls STROBE, BUSY and ACK automatically and it can also do
DMA. I'm aiming for simple one-way byteblasting without DMA first (did I tell
you that it can go both ways ?). We'll see if I get anywhere with this:)
The "Writing a pseudo device" -document was a good bootstrap in the
beginning btw. Thanks to whomever wrote that!
