  Hi Henning,

  It's been a long time since I last wrote, but I'd like to give the 600 II EP
  a go.

  What kinds of tools should be used to watch what goes on over the parallel
  port ?

  Are there some tips and tricks that you could pass on to make this easier for
  me to do ?

  I imagine that looking at a small image at first is advisable and then work
  from there once the protocol becomes clearer.

  Is anyone else working on this at the moment ?

  Cheers
  David
