Figuring out the Printer port base address

[Aki Niimura]

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much for your prompt response.
I checked out your mspgcc Home page (http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net/).
It was very impressive. My application is very similar to your pyJTAG.
I have a JTAG solution for Unix and now I'm trying to port it to Windoze.

Anyway, I have several questions to ask if I may:
(1) parallel

Your 'prallelwin32.py' seems using a fix port address.

| LPT1_base = 0x0378
| LPT2_base = 0x0278
|
| import _pyparallel
|
| class Parallel:
|     def __init__(self, port = LPT1):
|         if port == LPT1:
|             self.dataRegAdr = LPT1_base
|         elif port == LPT2:
|             self.dataRegAdr = LPT2_base

(2) giveio

I only found the binary format of 'giveio'. Could you elaborate the detail 
how to determine the LPT1 base address in the 'giveio' module?

Thanks!
