[Pro2006] Parallel port PC Interface and ProgramIT software

[ted hay]

You can use the dos program that came with the hb232.  George Stidley
released it
into the public domain, actually very good very stable few bugs (only
about 2 have
been found).  You can use a old PC, 286 or better.  Pro -Turbo will cost
you as much
as the interface.
