This zip file contain info about how to make an IC Tester card connect to
LPT printer parallel port. This circuit run on an IBM PC compatibles
and up to pentium use a standard bidirectional lpt port. This is a parallel
version of Chip Tester card (serial type), originate by Paul Stenning at :

Detailed of program & hardware :
- This hardware used a bidirectional printer parallel port.
- Software support both 2 types of hardware, serial or parallel type.
- It can be used to test a TTL or CMOS IC type by compare its boolean logic table.
- Only a digital type can be checked (like: and, or, not, counter, buffer, etc),
  not an analog ones (like: timer, pll, etc), and can't be used to check in circuit test.
- Library can be added by yourself from databook.
- Up to 24 pins IC can be checked (implementation standard pins are for
  14, 16, 20, 22 and 24 pins).
- Run test on 40486-DX/2-66 MHz, PC/AT compatible.
- For more info about this project go to my home page.
- Now support user define port type, accept any I/O card base on 8255-PPI chip
  (commercial one) or any other else if exist 3 consecutive ports configured as
  input, output, input ports.

Ver 1.25 - First release (10/14/2000).
Ver 1.26 - Bugs fixed, wildcard dir at 'Create IC Library' menu option, 
               and continuous loop option (05/29/2001).
Ver 1.27 - COM routine fixed, add 'user define port' option.
