[ forgive me if this concept has be shot to hell already ]
there exist on the market a number of "thingy"'s that attach to the parallel
port.
most of them are called printers. 8^)
but there are newer gizmos which can, with drivers under MS-DOS, adapt the
port into a SCSI controller or an ethernet NIC.
on the unix-pc/CT miniframe, you can write loadable device drivers.
could a driver be implemented to use one of these devices?
on another note. could a device driver be written to do SLIP on the serial
port(s) and interface with the pty's?
just wondering.
