    It is an parallel port Hard Drive. It appears as though parport is finding
    it at 0x378.
    > parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
    > parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.

    I load paride and it installs correctly
    > paride: version 1.04 installed

    I then load the fit3 module which is the driver for transdisk and it loads
    correctly
    i don't think it requires the epat protocol, but I loaded it anyway, to no
    avail
    > paride: fit3 registered as protocol 0

    But as soon as I try to load any devs, ie pf, pcd, etc I get the same
    message
    > Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-3/misc/pf.o
    > /lib/modules/2.2.14-3/misc/pf.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

    or

    > Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-3/misc/pt.o
    > /lib/modules/2.2.14-3/misc/pt.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

    or

    > Using /lib/modules/2.2.14-3/misc/pg.o
    > /lib/modules/2.2.14-3/misc/pg.o: init_module: Device or resource busy

    I have even tried to specify the drive and protocol, but I still get the
    Device
    or resource busy message
    > insmod pf drive0=0x378,0

    I did also read the paride.c and the pf.c files and try to specfy all the
    parameters,
    but nothing seems to work. if the device is busy by what???

    Any help or guidance would be appreciative.
    Thanks,
    Scott
