I've never used a PCI parport card on any arch, so I don't know what kind of driver they need. If they use the standard parport interface, then there shouldn't be endian problems because all the IO ports are only a byte wide anyway :) (This isn't true with ECP parports, IIRC, so using DMA might not work. This would hurt in terms of CPU overhead, big time.) -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X([EMAIL PROTECTED] , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
