pg is a module wich makes scsi-like a device running on the parallel port and
talking like IDE.
I don't know much but here is my case as example :
I have a backpack cdwriter -> module bpck6
running on lp0 -> module pcd (then I can mount /dev/pcd0 on /mnt/cdrom)
recognized as scsi by cdrecord -> module pg
Go to the linux cdwriting and then follow the links for the paride devices.

But thanks to that cdrecord will pick-up other devices :)

andrej and others are working on that now. It's in process. Read the process
about backpack.
