The following reply was made to PR kern/16153; it has been noted by GNATS. From: nsouch@FreeBSD.org To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, jfh@jfh00.fernuni-hagen.de Cc: ALTEN.SOUCHU@lanceurs.aeromatra.fr Subject: Re: kern/16153: no more parallel port zip drive Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2000 23:31:54 +0200 (CEST) The error is due to the mode of the parallel port. ppc driver detects NIBBLE (also called compatible) but the ZIP driver thinks the parallel port is in EPP mode. The ZIP protocol is completly different from one to another. So I guess that NIBBLE is right and EPP false. The problem comes certainly from one of the functions in the ppbus framework that returns the available modes of the parallel port to the zip driver. Either the ppc didn't initialize the info. correctly or the ppbus functions interpret it incorrectly.
