    I have just loaded RedHat 7.2 on a compaq 7400. I followed the instructions
    found at gear.torque.net/parport and also in some other areas. I loaded up
    parport, (insmod parport) no messages. I load paride, (insmod paride) no
    messages, I load bpck, (insmod bpck) no messages. I try to load PD for my
    Backpack Harddrive (insmod pd) and I get an error message pd.o: init_module:
    Operation not permitted. I noticed that in the troubleshooting section of
    gear.torque.net/parport/paride that the PARIDE protocol modules do not
    support ECP mode parallel ports. The compaq BIOS settings for the 7400
    doesn't allow me to change mode of the parallel port, I can either enable it
    or disable it and change the resources. I am checking with compaq to see if
    there is a way to change the mode theough the BIOS settings. The compaq
    website wasn't much help...but for now, it looks like I'm stuck.... any
    ideas??? Is there a way to emulate EPP? Here is the dmesg

    paride: version 1.06 installed (parport)
