Which modern, non-RT OS gives you preditable interrupt handling? Neither
Linux nor Windows do. This is the first big challenge for
cbm4win/cbm4linux.
The second big challenge is that only one line on a PC parallel port is
able to generte an interrupt. Additionally, it can only generate an
interrupt on ONE edge (would have to look up if it was the rising or the
falling edge), which makes it even harder.

Spiro.
