Here's a spinoff from my CVX experiments : try to add a 'real' parallel port over usb (or pci-express if USB really isnt feasible),
it could serve several purposes :
1/ try to play music \ run demos through a real CVX resistor DAC from dosbox on windows 7 / windows 10, on usb parallel port
--> I assume excellent timing would be impossible to achieve, but how good could it get
2/ Convert my old parallel port BUNG gameboy cart programmer to an usb device
3/ Reviving a friend's old dos based parallel port chip programmer, so he can use it on his laptop (which has no parallel port).
Anyone already experimented with parallel port through dosbox ?
==> I found the dosbox megabuild features some parallel port support
But most USB LPT cables are really printer only cables.
--> Found this nice project which is more promising : https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~heha/basteln/PC/USB2LPT/
it could be a good starting point, hardware wise. Ordered this dev board from ebay http://www.ebay.de/itm/272410298525 😈
We'll see how far i get.
