13 tristate "Parallel port IDE disks"
16 This option enables the high-level driver for IDE-type disk devices
17 connected through a parallel port. If you chose to build PARIDE
18 support into your kernel, you may answer Y here to build in the

20 it as a loadable module. The module will be called pd. You
21 must also have at least one parallel port protocol driver in your
22 system. Among the devices supported by this driver are the SyQuest
23 EZ-135, EZ-230 and SparQ drives, the Avatar Shark and the backpack
