Dear All,

I am having problems getting my HP 7200e
to work. I first tried to set the parallel
port to EPP. Unfortunately, my PC gives me
two possibilities only: PS/2 and AT. I
have tried both. With PS/2, after doing:

  insmod paride
  insmod epat
  insmod pg

I find with dmesg

  pg0: epat 1.01, Shuttle EPAT chip c6 at 0x378, mode 2 (8-bit), delay 1
  pg0: HP CD-Writer+ 7200, slave

and if I use AT instead of PS/2 the mode is 0.

Then, when I do

  mount /dev/pcd0 mnt/cdrom/

I get the error message

  mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/pcd0 as a block device
         (maybe `insmod driver'?)

I have played with the mkd script on
http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html
to make devices but this did not solve the problem.

Thanks
Raul
