8 menu "Parallel port support"
11 tristate "Parallel port support"
13 If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
14 (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
15 drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
16 create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
17 machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
18 <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and
19 <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
21 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
22 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
25 It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
26 and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
27 kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here:
28 the module will be called parport.
29 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which
30 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a
31 look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>.
36 tristate "PC-style hardware"
37 depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV
39 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
40 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
41 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
42 have a SuperIO parallel port.
44 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
45 module will be called parport_pc.
50 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
51 depends on SERIAL_8250 && PARPORT_PC && PCI
53 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
54 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
55 will be called parport_serial.
57 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
58 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)"
59 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
61 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
62 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
64 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
65 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default,
66 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
67 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to
68 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
70 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
71 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
72 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
74 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
75 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It
78 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
79 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
80 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
82 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
83 ports. If unsure, say N.
89 tristate "Archimedes hardware"
90 depends on ARM && PARPORT
94 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
95 depends on AMIGA && PARPORT
98 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
99 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
100 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
103 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
104 depends on ZORRO && PARPORT
105 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
107 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
108 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
109 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
112 tristate "Atari hardware"
113 depends on ATARI && PARPORT
114 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
116 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
117 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
118 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
124 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
126 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
127 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)"
128 depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
129 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
131 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
132 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
133 actually have pc style hardware instead.
136 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
139 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
140 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
141 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
142 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
143 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
