Hello all...

I have a simple piece of hardware that sits on the PC printer port.
I also have some C source code that compiles and works, and is used
to talk to that hardware. The code looks fairly simple, basically just
poking a few values at an io port.

I am now faced with the task of making the hardware work under
FreeBSD instead of windows, and I realize that I do not have the
foggiest notion of how to proceed! :-( Does anyone have any ideas,
or have some useful direction to point me in? Can I use the lpt
driver to do this easily?

Thanks for any help...
