It looks like no one knows how to inerrupt the PC using the parallel port IRQ 5 or the stiffy IRQ2! I know there must be a windows event but nowhere in Delphi or in any book it is mentioned.
Now say I want to do a DMA transfer on an IRQ5 interrupt , how do I do it? In Turbo Pascal 7 it was easy you just had to write an interrupt handler and it worked fine!
Also another aplication I used in DOS was to get interrupts/events from the real time clock as fast as 100 microseconds doing DOS tasks. It looks like Delphi and VB cannot have events that fast (like pascal in DOS)
Please could any clever guy inform us how to do it in windows?
