Well, isn't my face red.  I'm pretty sure the IO_ports package is 
Jerry's, but the paper I'm talking about isn't.  It is an article by Tom 
Dickinson.  I found my hard copy, it's from two years ago.  Mr 
Dickinson's email address is "tsd@bnl.gov"  Again, it's two years old so 
I'm not sure if it's still valid.  Briefly reviewing the article, it 
also has directions on how to interface a simple A to D converter to the 
parallel port.  I apologize again for getting the names wrong.  I 
just hope Jerrry will keep answering my questions :)
