Hi Jose:
To me, "sda4" doesn't seem right. Have you tried "sda1" or just "sda"?
I've never worked with any parallel port devices other than a printer so am
not sure about this. Hopefully someone else can provide a better answer.
I'd like to hear an answer to - if sda4 is correct, what are sda1..3? Is
this something peculiar to parallel port devices?
Richard, Lawson, how about it?
Tom
