Dear friends,

I've tried insmod parport, insmod paride, insmod frpw, insmod pcd verbose=1
with and without initialising the dosdriver and starting with loadlin, before I
wrote to this mailinglist. And I' ve read the historical list, but I could not
find an answer to my question:

Is it possible to use a freeport CD-Star under Linux?

Freeport Comware later became Freecom. The driver is found at
the Freecom-homepage under classic. My notebook is a Thinkpad 755C and linux
woks fine on it.

Here is the message after doing the insmod-commands:
