Actually, your boards look like they do the same thing that the Quatech ones do.  If
there is some ground swelling of interest in them, I would be willing to change over
(this board I'm using is free right now.)  I think your isa-pro2 board is the same,
but with two 8255's enstead of three.  It's just too bad that Microsoft won't give us
the option of changing a setting somewhere and letting us write to memory or ports.
 Or since it's suppossedly taken from us for our own good, maybe they would let us specify
the area of memory not to protect in a ini or reg file, and then let us write and read
from it.  So if anyone has a contact at microsoft, please pass that idea to them.. .

I sell a number of I/O interfaces including ISA and EPP parallel
with drivers for 95/98/NT and 2000. (starting at $39)  I haven't tested my
boards
under 2000 yet but they are supposed to work as expected.
My drivers are in the form of a DLL that can be called from
VB or C and include interrupt support that can trigger an
event right inside VB (VB5 or higher).  If somebody wants
to test the driver under 2000 I will send you a freebie.
