| config PARPORT |
| tristate "Parallel port support" |
| ---help--- |
| If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port |
| (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP |
| drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to |
| create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local |
| machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read |
| <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and |
| <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>. |
| |
| For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching |
| to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on |
| the WWW. |
| |
| It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices |
| and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the |
| kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here: |
| the module will be called parport. |
| If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which |
| port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a |
| look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>. |
| |
| If unsure, say Y. |
| |
| config PARPORT_PC |
| tristate "PC-style hardware" |
| depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R |
| ---help--- |
| You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All |
| IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style |
| parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they |
| have a SuperIO parallel port. |
| |
| To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the |
| module will be called parport_pc. |
| |
| If unsure, say Y. |
| |
| config PARPORT_SERIAL |
| tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)" |
| depends on SERIAL_8250 && PARPORT_PC && PCI |
| help |
| This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and |
| serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module |
| will be called parport_serial. |
| |
| config PARPORT_PC_FIFO |
| bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL |
| help |
| Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up |
| printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that. |
| |
| As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel |
| will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default, |
| parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the |
| FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to |
| specify which IRQ/DMA to use. |
| |
| config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO |
| bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL |
| help |
| Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to |
| find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It |
| is safe to say N. |
| |
| config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA |
| tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports" |
| depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC |
| help |
| Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel |
| ports. If unsure, say N. |
| |
| config PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| bool |
| |
| config PARPORT_ARC |
| tristate "Archimedes hardware" |
| depends on ARM && PARPORT |
| select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| |
| config PARPORT_AMIGA |
| tristate "Amiga builtin port" |
| depends on AMIGA && PARPORT |
| select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| help |
| Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on |
| Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), |
| called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. |
| |
| config PARPORT_MFC3 |
| tristate "Multiface III parallel port" |
| depends on ZORRO && PARPORT |
| select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| help |
| Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card. |
| This code is also available as a module (say M), called |
| parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. |
| |
| config PARPORT_ATARI |
| tristate "Atari hardware" |
| depends on ATARI && PARPORT |
| select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| help |
| Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on |
| Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), |
| called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. |
| |
| config PARPORT_GSC |
| tristate |
| default GSC |
| depends on PARPORT |
| |
| config PARPORT_SUNBPP |
| tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)" |
| depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL |
| select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| help |
| This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port |
| found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras |
| actually have pc style hardware instead. |
| |
| config PARPORT_1284 |
| bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes" |
| depends on PARPORT |
| help |
| If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or |
| want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes |
| such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284 |
| transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to |
| appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N. |
