Hi,
I've never been able to get my parallel port working at anything faster
than "compatible", but now that I've upgraded to 4.4-STABLE, I'm trying
again.
I'm using an ASUS A7V with the parallel port in the BIOS set to ECP/EPP.
Without any flags, ppc is started in COMPATIBLE mode at boot time. With
a /boot/kernel.conf, I've tried the following:
f ppc0 0x9
q
This results in the following when booting:
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 drq 0 flags 0x9 on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/NIBBLE) in ECP mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold
When I print something, the system hangs completely while uploading the
file to the printer. Even top doesn't update its display anymore ;-).
When the system comes back to life, top displays an interrupt count of
100% which drops to 0%.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Sven
