tipar: remove obsolete module
tipar: remove obsolete module
The tipar character driver was used to implement bit-banging access
to Texas Instruments parallel link cable. A user-land method now
exists thru PPDEV & PARPORT.

- Parallel link cable for Texas Instruments handhelds
- ===================================================
-
-
-Author: Romain Lievin
-Homepage: http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tidev/index.html
-
-
-INTRODUCTION:
-
-This is a driver for the very common home-made parallel link cable, a cable
-designed for connecting TI8x/9x graphing calculators (handhelds) to a computer
-or workstation (Alpha, Sparc). Given that driver is built on parport, the
-parallel port abstraction layer, this driver is architecture-independent.
-
-It can also be used with another device plugged on the same port (such as a
-ZIP drive). I have a 100MB ZIP and both of them work fine!
-
-If you need more information, please visit the 'TI drivers' homepage at the URL
-above.
-
-WHAT YOU NEED:
-
-A TI calculator and a program capable of communicating with your calculator.
-
-TiLP will work for sure (since I am its developer!). yal92 may be able to use
-it by changing tidev for tipar (may require some hacking...).
-
-HOW TO USE IT:
-
-You must have first compiled parport support (CONFIG_PARPORT_DEV): either
-compiled in your kernel, either as a module.
-
-Next, (as root):
-
- modprobe parport
- modprobe tipar
-
-If it is not already there (it usually is), create the device:
-
- mknod /dev/tipar0 c 115 0
- mknod /dev/tipar1 c 115 1
- mknod /dev/tipar2 c 115 2
-
-You will have to set permissions on this device to allow you to read/write
-from it:
-
- chmod 666 /dev/tipar[0..2]
-
-Now you are ready to run a linking program such as TiLP. Be sure to configure
-it properly (RTFM).
-
-MODULE PARAMETERS:
-
- You can set these with: modprobe tipar NAME=VALUE
- There is currently no way to set these on a per-cable basis.
-
- NAME: timeout
- TYPE: integer
- DEFAULT: 15
- DESC: Timeout value in tenth of seconds. If no data is available once this
- time has expired then the driver will return with a timeout error.
-
- NAME: delay
- TYPE: integer
- DEFAULT: 10
- DESC: Inter-bit delay in micro-seconds. A lower value gives an higher data
- rate but makes transmission less reliable.
-
-These parameters can be changed at run time by any program via ioctl(2) calls
-as listed in ./include/linux/ticable.h.
-
-Rather than write 50 pages describing the ioctl() and so on, it is
-perhaps more useful you look at ticables library (dev_link.c) that demonstrates
-how to use them, and demonstrates the features of the driver. This is
-probably a lot more useful to people interested in writing applications
-that will be using this driver.
-
-QUIRKS/BUGS:
-
-None.
-
-HOW TO CONTACT US:
-
-You can email me at roms@lpg.ticalc.org. Please prefix the subject line
-with "TIPAR: " so that I am certain to notice your message.
-You can also mail JB at jb@jblache.org. He packaged these drivers for Debian.
-
-CREDITS:
-
-The code is based on tidev.c & parport.c.
-The driver has been developed independently of Texas Instruments.

If unsure, say N.
-config TIPAR
- tristate "Texas Instruments parallel link cable support"
- depends on PARPORT
- ---help---
- If you own a Texas Instruments graphing calculator and use a
- parallel link cable, then you might be interested in this driver.
-
- If you enable this driver, you will be able to communicate with
- your calculator through a set of device nodes under /dev. The
- main advantage of this driver is that you don't have to be root
- to use this precise link cable (depending on the permissions on
- the device nodes, though).
-
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
- module will be called tipar.
-
- If you don't know what a parallel link cable is or what a Texas
- Instruments graphing calculator is, then you probably don't need this
- driver.
-
- If unsure, say N.
