It is a simple SCSI driver, like all others :<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
IOMEGA Parallel Port ZIP drive SCSI support<br>
|
|
CONFIG_SCSI_PPA<br>
|
|
This driver supports the parallel port version of IOMEGA's ZIP drive<br>
|
|
(a 100Mb removable media device). For more information about this<br>
|
|
driver and how to use it you should read the file<br>
|
|
drivers/scsi/README.ppa. You should also read the SCSI-HOWTO, which<br>
|
|
is available via anonymous ftp from sunsite.unc.edu in the directory<br>
|
|
/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. This driver is also available as a module<br>
|
|
which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel<br>
|
|
whenever you want. If you want to use any two of a parallel port ZIP<br>
|
|
drive, a parallel printer or PLIP on the same parallel port, you<br>
|
|
should compile the drivers as modules and only insert them as<br>
|
|
needed. To compile this driver as a module, say M here and read<br>
|
|
Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be called ppa.o. Note<br>
|
|
that you can say N here if you have the SCSI version of the ZIP<br>
|
|
drive: it will be supported automatically if you said Y to the<br>
|
|
generic "SCSI disk support", above.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
However this is not the only parallel-to-scsi-convertor available. I think<br>
|
|
newer kernels know some more. Let's hope one of them is compatible with<br>
|
|
one of the parport scanner solutions.<br>
