As I pointed out in another post, you should try removing the port
from NTs configuration.  NT doesn't protect resources it doesn't
know about.

My incomplete TI-85 link program (supporting the serial port)
uses the Win32 API for serial access, and so will work on
NT (if it was finished anyway:)

 Sure, it's slow, but i've been reading up on

EPP or ECP parallel ports will run up to ISA bus speeds, about
1 meg per second, assuming your software can handle it.
8 bit bidirectional ports will run up to about 300Kbps, and
4 bit bidirectional ports will run up to about 60Kbps (or
140 with some design tricks).
