10config PARPORT
11 tristate "Parallel port support"
12 ---help---
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>.
20
21 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
22 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
23 the WWW.
24
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>.
32
33 If unsure, say Y.
34
35config PARPORT_PC
36 tristate "PC-style hardware"
David Howells2919b512006-01-08 01:01:16 -080037 depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070038 ---help---
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.
43
44 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
45 module will be called parport_pc.
46
47 If unsure, say Y.
48
49config PARPORT_SERIAL
50 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
Russell King14228a42006-06-18 13:00:48 +010051 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070052 help
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.
56
57config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
58 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)"
59 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
60 help
61 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
62 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
63
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.
69
70config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
71 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
72 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
73 help
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
76 is safe to say N.
77
78config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
79 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
Adrian Bunka1b91682006-01-06 00:19:52 -080080 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070081 help
82 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
83 ports. If unsure, say N.
84
85config PARPORT_NOT_PC
86 bool

Arnaud Giersch8e75f742006-02-03 03:04:16 -080088config PARPORT_IP32
89 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port (EXPERIMENTAL)"
90 depends on SGI_IP32 && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
91 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
92 help
93 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
94 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
95 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
96
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070097config PARPORT_AMIGA
98 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
99 depends on AMIGA && PARPORT
100 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
101 help
102 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
103 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
104 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
105
106config PARPORT_MFC3
107 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
108 depends on ZORRO && PARPORT
109 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
110 help
111 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
112 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
113 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
114
115config PARPORT_ATARI
116 tristate "Atari hardware"
117 depends on ATARI && PARPORT
118 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
119 help
120 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
121 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
122 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.

130config PARPORT_SUNBPP
131 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)"
132 depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
133 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
134 help
135 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
136 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
137 actually have pc style hardware instead.
138
Ben Dooksad4063b2006-06-25 05:48:03 -0700139config PARPORT_AX88796
140 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
141 depends on PARPORT
142 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
143 help
144 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
145 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available
146 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796.
147
148 The driver is not dependant on the AX88796 network driver, and
149 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700151config PARPORT_1284
152 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
153 depends on PARPORT
154 help
155 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
156 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
157 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
158 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
159 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
