I'm just hoping that there is a way to turn off the way that windows 2000 stops the
inp and outp functions from being blocked.  Otherwise we might have to all get together
and find a suitable I/O board that Mark would be willing to write ECS to talk to the
drivers of.  


. . . . Or... I... GUESS... I... could... go... back... to... Windows... 98.

Would you need a device driver to do inp's and outp's ??

:-))

I'm just working on that in these weeks. Unfortunately, at the moment
I'm OK with the one for Win95/98 (it also does other things over
inp/outp) but I'm starting to work on the NT version...
But I'm here, in case you needed!
