Thanks for your reply.
Oh, right - I guess that saves me a bit of coding then. Have you read
the other emails? I'll probably be needing to alter the way GDB sends
the characters to the parallel port when I code this protocol
converter. Any idea what files I'll be looking at?
I've scanned a bit through serial.c and remote.c and found most things I
think.
