The biggest problem with this driver is that the architecture of the parallel port driver is now totally clumsy. It has already been problematical to add the PLIP functionality, but now with the ZIP driver, all bets are off. That's not to say i'm objecting against this driver... Lacking a better architecture of the parallel port subsystem, we might accept it, but only if there's also an active maintainer (probably the author himself). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
