I am using it with kernel 2.1.106. You have to go through kernel compilation and
enable parallel port support. You will not find a word about HP Colorado
so do not worry. You have to enable this option where there are EPAT and Pt
parameters. Perhaps, read first parallel port support page. You will find
all names of protocols and drivers etc. Page is very well written. When you get
through and your kernel is compiled then attach Colorado to the port and boot
your box. At the boot time you should see notes about parallel port and your
Colorado will be tested (physically you will hear the tape running). Afterwards,
you will see that is recognized and the boot goes further. That is all. You can
test it using tar.
If I am not clear in my description or jumped over an important detail send an
e-mail and I will be more specific.
