LabVIEW reading LPT under Windows XP

I am interested in a simple parallel port data input - periodically (about 2-5 times/s)sensing 2 bits at I/O address 0x379. I am looking for simplest way to accomplish it in LabVIEW, running under Win 2k or XP. As you know these operating systems do not allow user access directly to any hardware. I hope LabVIEW can get around that limitation. Has anybody succeeded in this?

Hi George,

      I'm running W2k and have driven LPT pins.  Seek link (or search NI +LabVIEW +"parallel port")
