Assembly Language Lab #9 Lab 9 Parallel Port Interfacing Applications Background: Parallel Part
A parallel port is a type of socket found on personal computers for interfacing with various peripherals. It is also known as a printer port or Centronics port (this name came from a popular printer manufacturing company 'Centronics' who devised some standards for parallel port). PC parallel port can be very useful I/O channel for connecting your own circuits to PC. PC parallel port is 25 pin D-shaped female connector in the back of the computer. Not all 25 are needed always. Usually you can easily do with only 8 output pins (data lines) and signal ground.

The original IBM-PCs parallel port had a total of 12 digital outputs and 5 digital inputs accessed via 3 consecuve 8-bit ports in the processors I/O space.

Assembly Language Lab #9 Lab Work:

Part1: Connect 8 LEDs to the data port of the parallel port as shown in the gure. Write an assembly language program that sends logic 1s to the DATA port pins and test the program. Write an assembly language program that does the following a. When user presses 1 on the keyboard , the LEDs light from right to le b. When user presses 2 on the keyboard , the LEDs light from le to right c. When user presses ESC the program exits
