Hi folks,
forgive me if this is an inappropriate mailing list (do give me a pointer) -
I have recently hacked up the 2.2.2 i386/isa/lpt driver to provide basic
support for some advanced features of the ECP parallel port that comes with
my motherboard, currently including
- re-vectoring of lpt interrupt
- use of the ECP fifo for "fast centronics" printing (both polled and IRQ)
- use of the ECP DMA channel (including auto-vectoring) to the ECP fifo
for "fast centronics" printing (IRQ only)
- ioctls to en/disable above, including hacked up lptcontrol
I'd like to know whether anybody
(a) is interested in this, if so, where to send it
(b) knows about a way to poll for DMA finished situations such that
DMA polled mode may work
(c) is working on integration of lpt as a proper tty (and get the
if_lp stuff out of lpt.c) to eventually allowing ieee1284 compliant
lptread(). I looked at sio.c and find siopoll() rather confusing...
Ta
Bernard
