Hello,

I have a motherboard with LCD indicator attached to it's LPT port. I would like to make grub show 
some early splash screen on it. All the things regarding protocol and pin assignments are ok, as I 
already have a programm to show stuff on LCD from OS (Debian). So the question is "how to make a 
grub module that is capable of setting levels on LPT pins?" and a second one is "how to make use of 
it during bootup procedure?

Thanks in advance,
Kirill
