Henri, is there a special reason why you're using WinIO instead of let's say DLPortIO? Just curious what made you decide to use it ;)

Furthermore, did you notice any differences between WinIO and DLPortIO? The reason I'm asking this is that a Noritake 800 works fine with LCDInfo on my Asus mobo, whilst LiQuiD-MP3 does not (see http://www.skippari.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=730). So this has got me a bit puzzled....

Also I can't read data into the parallel port when using DLPortIO. Does this work with WinIO?

Primary reason is speed I suppose. WinIO has been faster than DLPortIO when I've tested.
I posted some results here: http://www.skippari.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=142

Also WinIO haven't really caused me any problems and DLPortIO once just stopped working in my system (when trying to run older LCDInfo or LiQuiD-MP3 there was just the error message saying that port driver wasn't loaded) and I wasn't able to fix that. I've heard of similar problems with DLPortIO from others too but never with WinIO.

I have noticed some differences between the two. WinIO being faster is one of course. Also there have been reports that same display driver code compiled using WinIO or DLPortIO has differences in how well it works in different systems. Timing differences I suppose.

The reason you're seeing what you reported might be that LCDInfo and LiQuiD-MP3 have different timing for Noritake 800.

Without further testing I'm not able to comment to the issue about reading from parallel port...

Are the WriteData() and WriteCtrl() shown here even close to what's used in LiQuiD-MP3 ?
