Hi,
I've just had a quick look at the patch for 2.4.19. It appears from a cursory
skim-read that packet-cd doesn't yet support parallel-port CD-ROMs.
I don't know how hard it would be to add support; the pcd driver is basically
an ATAPI CD-ROM driver like the standard IDE one, but working through a
different interface. It might be possible to whip something up by looking at
the changes made to the standard ide-cd driver and then making corresponding
changes to the pcd driver. Or it might not. :)
Sorry to disappoint you :-)
