 I would like to be able to manipulate the values of the control lines
for my parallel port, but am having a tough time tracking down a way to
do this. In brief: can anyone tell me how to find out out the base
address for this port?

 It doesn't really matter how I find out this value - once I have the
hex address, I should be able to specify that address (plus an offset)
in an outb (or outportb) call, and write a byte to the port.

 Any suggestions???

Many thanks,
