It is also important to know whose adapter is in the case. Several
third parties distribute the Philips drive with different parallel port
adapters.
RedHat 5.1 can't help you. There is a boot disk that will allow you to
install RedHat 5.2 - and RedHat themselves plan to support PARIDE installations
with a revised boot disk for 6.0.
In the meantime, you'll probably find that a current SuSE distribution is
your best solution.

For RedHat 5.2, at http://www.torque.net/parport/rhs.html
But, SuSE will work "out of the box" and Slackware has a pportide.i boot
disk in their ftp area that also works.
You will need to know what adapter is in your case, however.

Right here.

??? Can't help with that - I'm in Canada.
