I suggest you post in the 'General VB Questions' forum. You're gonna get a better response that way :)

Go to Planet Source Code, find the I/O DLL for VB6.0, works like a charm. You can output at &h378 to get LPT1, and then use these bits (you'll have to complile them into a byte).

Input:

Brown Wire -> 1st Bit
Light Grey Wire -> 2nd Bit
White Wire -> 3rd Bit
Black Wire -> 4th Bit
Brown and White 'Twist' Wire -> 5th Bit
Red and White 'Twist' Wire -> 6th Bit
Green and White 'Twist' Wire -> 7th Bit
Blue and White 'Twist' Wire -> 8th Bit

Output:

Red Wire -> 1st Bit
Orange Wire -> 2nd Bit
Peach Wire -> 3rd Bit
Yellow-Orange Wire -> 4th Bit
Green Wire -> 5th Bit
White-Green Wire -> 6th Bit
Blue Wire -> 7th Bit
Dark Purple Wire -> 8th Bit

If you would like full specifications, don't hesitate to email me. The output port is somewhere inbetween &h379 and &h37F.
