    OK, with
    options parport_pc irq=7,5 dma=3,none io=0x0378,0xc400 io_hi=0x0778,0
    it is now working.

    Another question: It looks like that interrupt sharing between parport
    subsys and other devices is not possible. Is this true?

    Anyway, thanks for your help, it is now working at least.

    If you like me to test some things, ... just send it. Current
    kernel running is 2.4.12 + readback patch from you.

    Best wishes
