I'm sorry to say, but i doubt anybody is going to write a driver for this type of devices anytime soon. Given the crippled design of the standard parallel port, and the fact that the cheapest full-featured SCSI controller (NCR 53C810) is about US$ 80 these days, i doubt any effort in this area would really pay off (unless you're in the business of selling faster CPUs, of course :). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
