I/O
Hi, since everyone is asking everything i'm going to ask too :)
I have been wondering How to find modules and drivers to program input/output on PCI bus. And if there is any way to see a sample code of using these two in typing a program to send/recieve data through PCI on motherboard.
So far I have used inpout.dll with inpoutv4.bas and port.dll with ports.bas and I've used it to make a program to control LPT for use with a 2X16 lcd display.
Now I want to use a PCI or atleast ISA to control a memory chip with 16 adress ports because LPT is limited with 8 (max 12) output pins.
I have been doing this with everything that I have at home, so I don't want to buy software or hardware wich is too expencive for my standards.
I have everything set and waiting for the drivers and modules and I am wery gratefull for any kind of info on how to do this.
BTW if anyone has any questions about making small and usefull aplications in VB send questions to alesacar@yahoo.com, I don't promise but may be of help.

now create a connection module.
check this sample connection module ---------- >>>
