Hi there! ppbus (Parallel port bus) brings generic functions for peripherial detection and parallel port sharing. This generic support for the parallel port allows us to port the existing Linux drivers develpped by the Linux-parport Team. see http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html for more info. The code is under the GPL... of course. These drivers are mostly maintained by: Philip Blundell <Philip.Blundell@pobox.com> and Grant R. Guenther <grant@knot.torque.net> First, _stable_ drivers may be ported and later others if their spec become available (or if somebody is happy to hack them :) You may want to contribute... The existing ppi (Parallel port interface on ppbus) supports loadable kernel modules. ;) Anyway, tell us which parallel-port-hardware should be first ported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- nicolas -- Nicolas.Souchu@prism.uvsq.fr My ZIP Iomega home page... http://www.prism.uvsq.fr/~son/ppa3.html
