My problem seems to be connected with the fact that the bpck-fdc.o cannot
take control of the parallel port. I have a Zip drive that works very well
on the same parallel port with the Iomega Max Pro drive. Can it be the
conflict with SCSI emulation?
cat /proc/ioports
..
0378-037f : parport0
...
cat /proc/interrupts
- does not show who owns IRQ 7
lsmod

Any ideas?
