9 tristate "Parallel port support"
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>.
20 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
21 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
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>.
37 tristate "PC-style hardware"
38 depends on (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV && !S390 && \
39 (!M68K || ISA) && !MN10300 && !AVR32 && !BLACKFIN && \
40 !XTENSA && !CRIS && !H8300 && !ARM64
43 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
44 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
45 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
46 have a SuperIO parallel port.
48 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
49 module will be called parport_pc.
54 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
55 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
57 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
58 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
59 will be called parport_serial.
61 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
62 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available"
65 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
66 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
68 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
69 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default,
70 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
71 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to
72 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
74 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
75 bool "SuperIO chipset support"
76 depends on PARPORT_PC && !PARISC
78 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
79 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It
82 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
83 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
84 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
86 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
87 ports. If unsure, say N.
90 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port"
94 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
95 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
96 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
99 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
101 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
103 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
104 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
105 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
108 tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
110 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
112 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
113 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
114 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
117 tristate "Atari hardware"
119 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
121 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
122 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
123 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
128 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
130 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
131 tristate "Sparc hardware"
133 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
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.
139 config PARPORT_AX88796
140 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
141 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
143 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
144 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available
145 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796.
147 The driver is not dependent on the AX88796 network driver, and
148 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.
151 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
153 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
154 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
155 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
156 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
157 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
159 config PARPORT_NOT_PC
