Help!! Need software to control Intel 8255

Help!! Need software to control Intel 8255

[Larry Hazel]

I got no response to my first cry for help so I'll try again.

Does anyone have a package to provide control of the Intel 8255
Programmable Peripheral Interface in all modes under DOS or Windows.
Mode 0 (Basic I/O) is simple and well documented in the Intel data
sheets but Mode 2 (Bi-Directional bus) is neither simple nor well
documented and is what I need.  I thought maybe someone has already
waded through this and might share code/insight.

Even ugly C code (Is there any other kind?) might help.  Or perhaps a
suggestion for another newsgroup.

Thanks for any help

Larry,

My first venture was to just email Intel or Byte (www.byte.com) to 
see if there was some reviews done
on the Intel 8255. I usually see a bunch of control packages for 
various PPI devices. Start there (at Intel's web site) andlet me know 
if they can help you - if not, I'll dig up some info for you 
somehow!!!
