I don't think it does require "system level code"  unless you define
all not BASIC code to be that. I'm pretty sure I can copy data from
a parallel port to a disk file by just typing in one command at the
command line prompt.

I am thinking somthing like this would read in a 16MB block and store
it to a file:

        dd if=/dev/lp0 of=myimage.raw bs=16M

I think "dd" has been ported to DOS.  To test I'd need a source of
parallel data.  Maybe I could use two computers but "dd" should 
work.
