Hi group,
I want to use a PCI pport card which appears as 0xbc00 in dmesg. I can use
parapin's inputtest and outputtest OK to send signals to/from it if I
replace the default 0x378 w/ 0xbc00 in parapin.h. It shows up as parport1
in cat /proc/ioports and lp1(if that's supposed to be the same thing) in the
/dev tree. I've tried both in .pkprc without success. I even tried giving it
lp0. I get:
$pkp
Bad port specification /dev/lp0
pkp:200:Hardware initialization error
I'm assuming the 200 refers to the line number in pkp.cc but that message
occurs at l. 218.
here's
$lsmod
parport_pc 34244 2
lp 11460 0
parport 36296 2 parport_pc,lp
There are no /dev/parport* but there are /dev/lp0 and /dev/lp1. Do I need to
make them manually? I thought udev took care of that these days.
