There is special DLL for windows 95 to control I2C via the LPT1 port of your
PC.
You need some additional hardware (buffer) and the DLL.

Sorry, not a solution... I'm after the same thing. Seems that a lot of people
need this, but nobody makes it - NI take note! I'll keep searching and will
post if I find anything. Would be grateful if you could do likewise.

I've got the I2C spec, and it looks as though it would be possible to bit-bash
it using a DIO card. However, I just don't have the time to do this. If
someone made a PCI card with a driver that would do nicely!

I'm using the LPT-port, and some hardware stuff (2 transistors as buffer).
You can implement the I²C code in LabView (byte in - byte out), but it don't
work fast.
For that reason I have written a DLL in delphi3.0 that works fine,
even on a PII-400.
