Hi everyone, My father bought one of these boards (5008A) to add a parallel port to his new LinuxCNC machine.
The driver provided by SUNIX is not a parport_lowlevel driver - it's a monolithic PCI driver, which instead of using the kernel subsystems basically copies them all. To summarise - this means it doesn't work with the HAL layer. To fix it, I hacked the parport_serial driver to work with the 5008A card. Whilst doing this I identified 3 other cards that can probably be supported with minimal effort. One of them is already in the kernel - but I suspect the parallel port bit of it is broken. I was wondering if anyone has any of the following cards and would be willing to help me test some driver updates: SUNIX 1999 [1FD4:1999] Board 5069A, subsystem ID: 0x0101 Board 5079A, subsystem ID: 0x0102 Board 5099A, subsystem ID: 0x0104 Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
