Hello Peter, why is the linux pp driver important with the pci parallel port card ? I mean I have disabled the parport_pc, parport, ppdev and lp modules in /etc/modprobe.d/emc2, so these pci parallel ports do not get claimed by the linux pp driver at all. Or am I missing something ?
I'll try to get a SUN1888 and an Oxford PIC952 based card tomorrow morning, then I can test, the cable length of <2 feet is not a problem for me at all. Problem is that all "normal" shops around have these darn moschip based cards.
