| 17 | ---help--- |
| 18 | If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port |
| 19 | (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP |
| 20 | drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to |
| 21 | create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local |
| 22 | machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read |
| 23 | <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> and |
| 24 | <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching |
| 27 | to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on |
| 28 | the WWW. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices |
| 31 | and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the |
| 32 | kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here: |
| 33 | the module will be called parport. |
| 34 | If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which |
| 35 | port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a |
| 36 | look at <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst>. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | If unsure, say Y. |

| 43 | tristate "PC-style hardware" |
| 44 | depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT |
| 45 | help |
| 46 | You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All |
| 47 | IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style |
| 48 | parallel ports. PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they |
| 49 | have a SuperIO parallel port. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the |
| 52 | module will be called parport_pc. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | If unsure, say Y. |
| 55 | |
| 56 | config PARPORT_SERIAL |
| 57 | tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)" |
| 58 | depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI |
| 59 | help |
| 60 | This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and |
| 61 | serial ports. You should say Y or M here. If you say M, the module |
| 62 | will be called parport_serial. |
| 63 | |
| 64 | config PARPORT_PC_FIFO |
| 65 | bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available" |
| 66 | depends on PARPORT_PC |
| 67 | help |
| 68 | Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up |
| 69 | printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel |
| 72 | will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has. By default, |
| 73 | parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the |
| 74 | FIFO. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> to find out how to |
| 75 | specify which IRQ/DMA to use. |
| 76 | |
| 77 | config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO |
| 78 | bool "SuperIO chipset support" |
| 79 | depends on PARPORT_PC && !PARISC |
| 80 | help |
| 81 | Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to |
| 82 | find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels. It |
| 83 | is safe to say N. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA |
| 86 | tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports" |
| 87 | depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC |
| 88 | help |
| 89 | Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel |
| 90 | ports. If unsure, say N. |

| 92 | config PARPORT_IP32 |
| 93 | tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port" |
| 94 | depends on SGI_IP32 |
| 95 | select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| 96 | help |
| 97 | Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on |
| 98 | SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), |
| 99 | called parport_ip32. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. |
| 100 | |

| 102 | tristate "Amiga builtin port" |
| 103 | depends on AMIGA |
| 104 | select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| 105 | help |
| 106 | Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on |
| 107 | Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), |
| 108 | called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. |

| 112 | depends on ZORRO |
| 113 | select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| 114 | help |
| 115 | Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card. |
| 116 | This code is also available as a module (say M), called |
| 117 | parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. |

| 124 | Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on |
| 125 | Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M), |
| 126 | called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan. |

| 135 | depends on SBUS |
| 136 | select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| 137 | help |
| 138 | This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port |
| 139 | found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras |
| 140 | actually have pc style hardware instead. |

| 143 | tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port" |
| 144 | select PARPORT_NOT_PC |
| 145 | help |
| 146 | Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on |
| 147 | the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available |
| 148 | as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796. |
| 149 | |
| 150 | The driver is not dependent on the AX88796 network driver, and |
| 151 | should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip. |

| 155 | help |
| 156 | If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or |
| 157 | want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes |
| 158 | such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284 |
| 159 | transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to |
| 160 | appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N. |
