Hi,
Long shot that anyone will know this... I can find out by trying if needs be!
I'm planning on using parport to control the parallel port through java - in fact I've alsready used it for some things. This time however I want to make use of the CONTROL port as well as DATA and STATUS ports. Is there anything special about any of the control port pins, or can I use them as 'stupid' output pins without strange things happening. In particular, I was worried that the strobe pin might do something every time the data port changed...
Cheers,
Ben
