The first POKE in the Write-routine
selects which address you will writeto,
just as in the same way as if you read
data instead. The second POKE sets the
parallellport for output by setting all
the bits in the Datadirection register
to high. The third POKE is the one that
write the databyte in the variable
"OutData" to the parallell port, and
finally the last POKE selects address 7
and therefor lits the READY-LED. As an
example how it could look like when you
are using the subroutines above, do I
include these instructions.
Adress=1:OutData=192:GOSUB WRITE
Which writes the databyte 192 to IC3.
Similarly do you read data:
Adress=2:GOSUB READ:PRINT InData
I think that this information will give
you enough help to understand how to
use the parallellport.Finally do I want
to tell you that you should be careful
when connecting this circuit to your
computer, and are sure that there is no
short circuits anywhere.I will also say
that the editors of The Technocratic
Times takes no responsibility for any
sort of damage that could appear while
building this circuit.

Commodore vs Atari in Denmark
-----------------------------
Commodore have always had a firm grip
in the Danish buyers. The c-64 was and
is the best selling machine in Denmark
- ever.Luckily the Amiga has taken over
and is starting to outsell the c-64.
Commodore have sold about 200000 units
of the c-64 in Denmark, since they
started in 83/84, and about 70000
Amiga's. And the Amiga will continue to
sell in a lot of years ahead. Atari
haven't sold much more than 1000 of
their St's in Denmark, and most of them
were bought by musicians to use with
a midi. No one want's the St, and why
should they. No one bothers to import
software, there is no strong user net.
People cannot build a big software base
nearly for free, as with the c-64 or
the Amiga. They have to ship there
software over from England, and that's
expensive. Finally, the Atari St is a
rotten machine. So Commodore have a
bright future in Denmark, and that
pleases me.
