8 menu "Parallel port support"
11 tristate "Parallel port support"
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>.
21 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
22 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
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>.
36 tristate "PC-style hardware"
37 depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI)
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.
44 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
45 module will be called parport_pc.
49 config PARPORT_PC_CML1
51 depends on PARPORT!=n && PARPORT_PC!=n
52 default PARPORT_PC if SERIAL_8250=y
53 default m if SERIAL_8250=m
56 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
57 depends on SERIAL_8250!=n && PARPORT_PC_CML1 && PCI
59 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
60 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
61 will be called parport_serial.
63 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
64 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)"
65 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
67 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
68 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
70 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
71 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default,
72 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
73 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to
74 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
76 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
77 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
78 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
80 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
81 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It
84 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
85 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
86 depends on PARPORT!=n && HOTPLUG && (PCMCIA!=n && PARPORT_PC=m && PARPORT_PC || PARPORT_PC=y && PCMCIA)
88 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
89 ports. If unsure, say N.
92 tristate "Archimedes hardware"
93 depends on ARM && PARPORT
96 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
97 depends on AMIGA && PARPORT
99 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
100 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
101 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
104 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
105 depends on ZORRO && PARPORT
107 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
108 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
109 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
112 tristate "Atari hardware"
113 depends on ATARI && PARPORT
115 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
116 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
117 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
124 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
125 tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)"
126 depends on SBUS && EXPERIMENTAL && PARPORT
128 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
129 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
130 actually have pc style hardware instead.
132 # If exactly one hardware type is selected then parport will optimise away
133 # support for loading any others. Defeat this if the user is keen.
135 bool "Support foreign hardware"
138 Say Y here if you want to be able to load driver modules to support
139 other non-standard types of parallel ports. This causes a
140 performance loss, so most people say N.
143 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
146 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
147 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
148 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
149 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
150 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
