9 tristate "Parallel port support"
10 depends on HAS_IOMEM
11 ---help---
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>.
19
20 For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
21 to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
22 the WWW.
23
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>.
31
32 If unsure, say Y.

38 depends on (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV && \
39 (!M68K || ISA) && !MN10300 && !AVR32 && !BLACKFIN
40 ---help---
41 You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
42 IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
43 parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
44 have a SuperIO parallel port.
45
46 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
47 module will be called parport_pc.
48
49 If unsure, say Y.
50
51config PARPORT_SERIAL
52 tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
53 depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
54 help
55 This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
56 serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module
57 will be called parport_serial.
58
59config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
60 bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)"
61 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
62 help
63 Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
64 printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
65
66 As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
67 will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default,
68 parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
69 FIFO. See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to
70 specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
71
72config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
73 bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
74 depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
75 help
76 Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
77 find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It
78 is safe to say N.
79
80config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
81 tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
82 depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
83 help
84 Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
85 ports. If unsure, say N.

87config PARPORT_IP32
88 tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port (EXPERIMENTAL)"
89 depends on SGI_IP32 && EXPERIMENTAL
90 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
91 help
92 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
93 SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
94 called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
95
96config PARPORT_AMIGA
97 tristate "Amiga builtin port"
98 depends on AMIGA
99 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
100 help
101 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
102 Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
103 called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
104

108 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
109 help
110 Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
111 This code is also available as a module (say M), called
112 parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
113
114config PARPORT_ATARI

116 depends on ATARI
117 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
118 help
119 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
120 Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
121 called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.

131 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
132 help
133 This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
134 found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
135 actually have pc style hardware instead.
136
137config PARPORT_AX88796
138 tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
139 select PARPORT_NOT_PC
140 help
141 Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
142 the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available
143 as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796.
144
145 The driver is not dependant on the AX88796 network driver, and
146 should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.
147
148config PARPORT_1284
149 bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
150 help
151 If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
152 want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
153 such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
154 transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
155 appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
