8 menu "Parallel port support"
12 tristate "Parallel port support"
14 If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
15 (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
16 drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
17 create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
18 machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
19 <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and
20 <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
22 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
23 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
26 It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
27 and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
28 kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here:
29 the module will be called parport.
30 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which
31 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a
32 look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>.
37 tristate "PC-style hardware"
38 depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV
40 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
41 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
42 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
43 have a SuperIO parallel port.
45 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
46 module will be called parport_pc.
51 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
52 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
54 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
55 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
56 will be called parport_serial.
58 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
59 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)"
60 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
62 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
63 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
65 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
66 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default,
67 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
68 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to
69 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
71 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
72 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
73 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
75 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
76 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It
79 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
80 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
81 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
83 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
84 ports. If unsure, say N.
87 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port (EXPERIMENTAL)"
88 depends on SGI_IP32 && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
91 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
92 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
93 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
96 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
97 depends on AMIGA && PARPORT
100 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
101 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
102 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
105 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
106 depends on ZORRO && PARPORT
107 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
109 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
110 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
111 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
114 tristate "Atari hardware"
115 depends on ATARI && PARPORT
116 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
118 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
119 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
120 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
126 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
128 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
129 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)"
130 depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
131 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
133 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
134 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
135 actually have pc style hardware instead.
137 config PARPORT_AX88796
138 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
140 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
142 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
143 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available
144 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796.
146 The driver is not dependant on the AX88796 network driver, and
147 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.
150 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
153 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
154 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
155 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
156 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
157 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
159 config PARPORT_NOT_PC
