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_PCI && 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.
86 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port (EXPERIMENTAL)"
87 depends on SGI_IP32 && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
90 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
91 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
92 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
95 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
96 depends on AMIGA && PARPORT
99 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
100 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
101 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
104 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
105 depends on ZORRO && PARPORT
106 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
108 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
109 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
110 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
113 tristate "Atari hardware"
114 depends on ATARI && PARPORT
115 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
117 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
118 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
119 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
125 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
127 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
128 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)"
129 depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
130 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
132 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
133 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
134 actually have pc style hardware instead.
136 config PARPORT_AX88796
137 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
139 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
141 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
142 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available
143 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796.
145 The driver is not dependant on the AX88796 network driver, and
146 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.
149 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
152 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
153 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
154 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
155 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
156 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
158 config PARPORT_NOT_PC
