  10 config PARPORT
  11         tristate "Parallel port support"
  12         ---help---
  13           If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
  14           (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
  15           drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
  16           create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
  17           machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
  18           <file:Documentation/parport.txt> and
  19           <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
  20
  21           For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
  22           to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
  23           the WWW.
  24
  25           It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
  26           and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
  27           kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here:
  28           the module will be called parport.
  29           If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which
  30           port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a
  31           look at <file:Documentation/parport.txt>.
  32
  33           If unsure, say Y.
  34
  35 config PARPORT_PC
  36         tristate "PC-style hardware"
  37         depends on PARPORT && (!SPARC64 || PCI) && !SPARC32 && !M32R && !FRV
  38         ---help---
  39           You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
  40           IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
  41           parallel ports.  PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
  42           have a SuperIO parallel port.
  43
  44           To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
  45           module will be called parport_pc.
  46
  47           If unsure, say Y.
  48
  49 config PARPORT_SERIAL
  50         tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
  51         depends on SERIAL_8250 && PARPORT_PC && PCI
  52         help
  53           This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
  54           serial ports.  You should say Y or M here.  If you say M, the module
  55           will be called parport_serial.
  56
  57 config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
  58         bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  59         depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
  60         help
  61           Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
  62           printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
  63
  64           As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
  65           will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has.  By default,
  66           parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
  67           FIFO.  See <file:Documentation/parport.txt> to find out how to
  68           specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
  69
  70 config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
  71         bool "SuperIO chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  72         depends on PARPORT_PC && EXPERIMENTAL
  73         help
  74           Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
  75           find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels.  It
  76           is safe to say N.
  77
  78 config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
  79         tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
  80         depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
  81         help
  82           Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
  83           ports. If unsure, say N.
  84
  85 config PARPORT_NOT_PC
  86         bool
  87
  88 config PARPORT_ARC
  89         tristate "Archimedes hardware"
  90         depends on ARM && PARPORT
  91         select PARPORT_NOT_PC
  92
  93 config PARPORT_IP32
  94         tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port (EXPERIMENTAL)"
  95         depends on SGI_IP32 && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
  96         select PARPORT_NOT_PC
  97         help
  98           Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
  99           SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
 100           called parport_ip32.  If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
 101
 102 config PARPORT_AMIGA
 103         tristate "Amiga builtin port"
 104         depends on AMIGA && PARPORT
 105         select PARPORT_NOT_PC
 106         help
 107           Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
 108           Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
 109           called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
 110
 111 config PARPORT_MFC3
 112         tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
 113         depends on ZORRO && PARPORT
 114         select PARPORT_NOT_PC
 115         help
 116           Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
 117           This code is also available as a module (say M), called
 118           parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
 119
 120 config PARPORT_ATARI
 121         tristate "Atari hardware"
 122         depends on ATARI && PARPORT
 123         select PARPORT_NOT_PC
 124         help
 125           Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
 126           Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
 127           called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
 128
 129 config PARPORT_GSC
 130         tristate
 131         default GSC
 132         depends on PARPORT

 134
 135 config PARPORT_SUNBPP
 136         tristate "Sparc hardware (EXPERIMENTAL)"
 137         depends on SBUS && PARPORT && EXPERIMENTAL
 138         select PARPORT_NOT_PC
 139         help
 140           This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
 141           found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
 142           actually have pc style hardware instead.
 143
 144 config PARPORT_1284
 145         bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
 146         depends on PARPORT
 147         help
 148           If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
 149           want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
 150           such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
 151           transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
 152           appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
