Qbasic "OUT" Command Need Work-Around
Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2023 1:47 am
So I have this wonderful Program written in Qbasic I use to Run Two Stepper Motors that direct a Plasma Cutting
Torch. The Problem is the "OUT" Command sends a signal to the Parallel Port that tell the Stepper Motors what to
do. This only works with Windows 98 and nothing later like Windows XP - Control of the Parallel Port has been
taken away (abandoned) by Microsoft. I want to reclaim the "OUT" Command signal on a Computer that only has
USB Slots. Can anything be done about this? I have looked and looked but still no satisfying solution. Thank You.
