Hello from Gregg C Levine
In the documentation for E-11, John Wilson, describes the "blinky
lights", essentially eight LEDs attached to the printer port of an
IBM-PC that's running his emulator. 

Has anyone ever built one of those things, using either a PC board
blank from John Wilson, or decided to build one on his own? For that
matter, has anyone actually used it, to assist in the debugging of a
program, running on his emulator?

I'll probably e-mail John Wilson about this one directly, but, has
anyone written a custom plug-in, that would have the printer port,
pose as an I/O port for the emulator?

Gregg,

John has a lot of friends!

Hello again from Gregg C Levine
Looks good. However, I meant to use the printer-port as an I/O port,
as one would use one of the dedicate boards that the original PDP-11
wore. 

Granted, it would be difficult to apply it, but according to a book on
the subject of PC interfacing, it can be done.
