Hello.

I know this is a pretty newbie question, but I wonder if there is any
difference between /dev/lp0 | /dev/par0 and /dev/parport0?

If there is, which major and minor should I use to create the device
/dev/parport0?
My kernel finds the parallel port, but I've only got the devices
/dev/lp[0-2] and /dev/par[0-2]. I want VMWare to get hold of the parallel
port and it needs some other device than the ones I've got for
bidirectional communication.

TIA,
Linus G Larsson
