Wolf and Alberto,
Thanks for the info on port driving under Win9x.
If you only need TWO output lines at the COM port (RTS and DTR), there is a
way to control these lines via the Windoze API. One could use one line as
clock, >the other as a data line to drive a simple shift register. The shift
clock can be the leading clock edge, and the output strobe can be the
falling edge with a logic "1" >on the data line (thinking of I2C-bus).
I thought there was. I will try and dig it out as it would be a way of
driving up to 4 tone control lines for those not into soundcard interfacing.
