 Good reports of HELPPC21 have been posted. It is downloadable as:
 <ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/programming/helppc21.zip>

 This hypertext system contains much information on ports and other
 hardware, as well as some overlap with Ralf Brown's interrupt list
 <Q:02.03> [What and where is Ralf Brown's interrupt list?]. It is
 shareware ($25).

 Additional information (and more recent) information can be found in
 Ralf Brown's interrupt list; see <Q:02.03> [What and where is Ralf
 Brown's interrupt list?] for information on locating the list.

Another solution is to use a parallel port loopback plug. It makes the PC think there is a printer attached. The benefit of this is it doesn't require anticipating the problem with ANSI.SYS escape sequences nor does it make you wait half an hour for the "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" prompt, as some versions of DOS do.
