Let me see if I can summarize.

- You want to simulate a device that attaches to a parallel port,
and you want to write that simulation in jHDL or Verilog.

- You want to hook that simulation up to a PC emulator so that you
can write the *real* device driver for your simulated device, and
use that as the test bench.

Kool idea.

Personally, all my devices are either PCI-* or USB, but linking
an emulated parallel port to a simulator would be an easier first
project and would demonstrate the idea nicely. The passage of
time is going to be an interesting one for you.
