Btw, I once added another method of debug output to ZETA, that was using the low-level protocol used by laplink (nibble mode). I needed this for a laptop that didn't have a serial port but still had a // one. This allowed bidirectionnal debugging (including sending kernel debugger commands) with a null-printer cable. I also wrote code to support it in Haiku, though I'm not sure I've added the receiving driver yet. See: http://dev.haiku-os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/debugger/laplinkll I don't know if the parallel port emulation in QEMU supports dumping bytes at nibble mode yet, it might be interesting to add this anyway. Though it should also be possible to just use 8bit mode and dump data straight to it as with the 0x402 port. François.
