See the ppbus(4), ppi(4) and ppc(4) man pages. The ability to change mode on the parallel bus is a feature of certain chipsets and may not be available on your hardware --- for instance my Asus A7V266 motherboard only supports NIBBLE mode: % grep ppc /var/run/dmesg.boot ppc0: at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0 ppc0: Generic chipset (NIBBLE-only) in COMPATIBLE mode Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
