   SPI on PCs parallel port   
   Hi I have Visual Basic 6.0 enterprise edition, but have only wrote   
   some simple code examples from a beginner's book.   
   I would like to read an SPI device but using my PCs Parallel port.   
   I just need to send out an 8-bit word and simultaneously read back in   
   an 8-bit word.   
   I can simply repeat for multiple words.   
      
   It can be as simple as a window that I can enter the hex or binary (or   
   decimal) number to be sent out and another window for the returned   
   data.   
   Then just a button to start the transfer.   
      
   Does anyone have something like this?   
   Or do they know of anything similar?   
      
   I have searched the web and the closest that I could find was very   
   complex and difficult for a beginner to modify.
