| Dec 17, 2017 at 1:49 | comment | added | Raffzahn | @Jules Yeah :)) Well, I had to force myself staying with the restriction the OP put on this by making it a question about serial/nullmodem transmission :)) Using LAN cards is ofc the easy way out. Personally I wouldn't have even thought about parallel port at all when there's a serial arround. | |

| Dec 17, 2017 at 1:29 | comment | added | Jules | Fun task... I recall circa 1996 or so deciding I needed a parallel port DOS -> Linux transfer capability, grabbing the port descriptions of the PC parallel port (probably from the collection of documents I'd accumulated around that time that included Ralf Brown's interrupt list and a whole load of other similar things -- I think there was a "DOS Games Programmer's Encyclopedia" or something similar in there too) and figuring out how to do it on the DOS side (that was probably the last significant program I wrote purely in assembly, I think), but failing to get it to work in Linux... | |
