Not finished. ECP is not supported yet. I'm glad to see the 690C is ECP compliant. I bougth an HP6L, thinking it was :( But there's at least FIFO+DMA support in the nlpt driver. Try 'lptcontrol -e' with you BIOS configured to ECP. Recompile with the appropriate drq on the 'device ppc at isa?...' line. > >----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- >Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data >chu...@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. >213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | >Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) >(301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). >----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- > > > > > -- nso...@teaser.fr / nso...@freebsd.org FreeBSD - Turning PCs into workstations - http://www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
