How do I use a parallel port IDE device like a Syquest EZFlyer?
There are many devices appearing that use a standard parallel port to implement IDE-like communications. The paride drivers are available from http://www.torque.net/parport/paride.html Included in this family are a number of drivers including the pd driver with paride support for the Syquest drive and the pf driver with epat protocol used with external LS-120 drives. (Note: In the 2.0.x kernels, you can load only one of pd.o (for paride), ppa.o (for Iomega parallel adapter support, like in the ZIP drive), and lp.o (for parallel printers, what a novel use for a parallel printer port).
