Ave Hackers!
I hope this isn't the wrong forum for this; I'm no kernel hacker. If
this is inappropriate, let me know.
I'd like to drive a lighting control system from the parallel port,
preferably using the standard lpt driver.
Question: Can I initialize the lpt device, i.e. pulse the -INIT
output pin from user space (without having to change the
driver)?
This seems to be what the driver does on startup anyway, I'm just
wondering if there's a way to reinvoke it later.
If anyone could help, I'd much appreciate it. Please reply to me
directly; I'm not on the hackers list.
Cheers =8-} Mike
