I have some experience programming ports, but not recently, only using Dos based OS's. I found this site a great help some time ago
http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/parallel_output.html for programming output to the port.
Will you be using a Dos-based OS (Win.9x etc) or NT (XP). XP does not allow direct addressing of the ports from a Dos-based language such as QBasic and some other language may be necessary.
Post your queries and will try to assist.

Thank You!
I am running dos v6.3 and am working with qbasic v1.1, but the site was all I needed.
THANK YOU!
