12 If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
13 (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
14 drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
15 create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
16 machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
17 <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and
18 <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
19
20 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
21 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
22 the WWW.
23
24 It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
25 and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
26 kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here:
27 the module will be called parport.
28 If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which
29 port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a
30 look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>.
31
32 If unsure, say Y.

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.

55 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
56 will be called parport_serial.

61 help
62 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
63 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
64
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.

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
77 is safe to say N.
