Hello,
Admittedly, the first request for help using PARIDE and the SPARQ
was poorly formed. Hopefully this is a better one.
Here is a copy of the output from dmesg.

I am also adding some of the /dev directory, I remember
doing a "ls -l p*" to get the following listing.

Here's where deja vu comes in... I think I have things set up,
keeping in mind I have tried a couple kernels since the first mail,
but I am wondering about which device to fdisk and mount. The
devs I am trying are obviously the wrong ones.
Hopefully, from the output above, ya'll with more experience with
PARIDE can point me in the right direction.
I am interested in working this out for myself, yes, I have read the
available documentation. One thing I have found to be under-
documented, IMHO, is the mknod and /dev stuff.
Thanks,
Bill
