Yup.  You run the program called "lpt1" which comes on the original
release disks for the bridgeboards.  You just click on the icon and a
window opens up telling you that the bridgeboard now owns the parallel
port.  When you're done, you just close the window and the parallel port
is returned to the Amiga.
