I have a Sony Superstation and a Linux i486 machine. The parallel port
in it is SPP so I thought that it was uncompatible. So I bought a cheap
(free with rebate) parallel port. It support EPP/ECP and SPP. So when
I use that it still won't work! Here is the output from 'insmod pt
verbose=1' (the new parallel port is on 0x278)
pt: pt version 1.04, major 96
pt0: epat: port 0x3bc, mode 0, ccr ff, test=(255,255,510)
pt0: epat: port 0x3bc, mode 1, ccr ff, test=(255,255,510)
pt0: epat: port 0x3bc, mode 2, ccr ff, test=(255,255,510)
pt0: 0x378 is parport0

pt0: epat: port 0x26c, mode 2, ccr ff, test=(255,255,510)
pt0: Autoprobe failed
pt: No ATAPI tape drive detected
/lib/modules/2.2.1/misc/pt.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

all settings are on-board the parallel card. What setting should I be
using?

Thanks for any help
