Re: want only 1 lp
Quoting Kenneth Scharf ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I've posted this question before, but the digest lists went down for a few weeks before I could get any answers to this question. I have 3 lp cards in my computer at dos addresses lpt1, lpt2, and lpt3. I only want the one at lpt1 to be attached to the lp driver(s). I want the other two ports free for my own software. I am running potato now, the options entered for the modules in slink don't work here, on boot up the initial feedback shows all three lpt ports being grabbed by the lp driver nomatter what I've tried. Something is different in 2.2.x I think. You could reserve the addresses with a kernel parameter. Any ideas out there? I will be writting my own driver to talk to the other two ports. One for a home brew prom burner, the other for an 8052 ICE that was written up in byte some years ago. Once they're written, you could load them earlier than lp, in which case the addresses will have been used up.
