Dear all,
I'm in a project in which I'll need to interface with an external H/W device.
I need to get interrupt from this external H/W through the parallel port(i.e. IRQ7),

I have found many code samples on the web but they only work on Borland compiler!!! How to make this on Visual Studio enviroment.

I also need to make a specific job periodically and that requires to make a Timer interrupt, how could I make this also?
I needed to use the parallel port for interfacing this external H/W so I'm using
_outp(add,data) but this doesn't work on WinXP because of the protection set on these ports, how to avoid this?
I am a newbie...so please give sample codes and your views..
Thanks in advance

V Mohan
