I am yet to do any programming on the Amiga, but I thought that if I do, this might be a good place to start.
The project I am working on at college, to put it simply, is to make an analogue to digital converter circuit which will connect to the parallel port on an IBM PC. Currently I have this working on a bidirectional port (8 bit ADC's data outputs connected directly to the data inputs on the parallel port), but soon will be changing this so it will go in as two nibbles through 4 of the 5 status inputs.
As the Amiga has a bidirectional parallel port, I thought it could be possible to also have this working on the Amiga. The programme I have is written using Microsoft's QuickBasic on MS-DOS. I expect that being BASIC, alot of the programme would be the same, or very similar on the amiga, but being a completely different computer, the addresses of the parallel port are likely to be different to that of the PC, and the BASIC commands to access it might also be different.
I was wondering if anyone could provide any information on programming the parallel port on the amiga using BASIC. And if so, what BASIC languages do you all recomend for the Amiga?
Thanks
