12 | If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port | |
13 | (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP | |
14 | drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to | |
15 | create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local | |
16 | machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read | |
17 | <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and | |
18 | <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>. | |
19 | ||
20 | For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching | |
21 | to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on | |
22 | the WWW. | |
23 | ||
24 | It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices | |
25 | and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the | |
26 | kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here: | |
27 | the module will be called parport. | |
28 | If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which | |
29 | port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a | |
30 | look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. | |
31 | ||
32 | If unsure, say Y. | |

46 | You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All |
47 | IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style | |
48 | parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they | |
49 | have a SuperIO parallel port. | |
50 | ||
51 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the | |
52 | module will be called parport_pc. | |

1da177e4 LT |
59 | help |
60 | This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and | |
61 | serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module | |
62 | will be called parport_serial. | |

67 | help |
68 | Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up | |
69 | printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that. | |
70 | ||
71 | As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel | |
72 | will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default, | |
73 | parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the | |
74 | FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to | |
75 | specify which IRQ/DMA to use. | |

80 | help |
81 | Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to | |
82 | find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It | |
83 | is safe to say N. | |
