Those tricky hardware manufacturers, eh? ;-) The Linux parport driver has a special section for dealing with the ITE 8872, maybe it'd be applicable to the 8875 too? See line 2442 of parport_pc.c: <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/parport/parport_pc.c;h=96f3bdf0ec4bd4a04aaad15647e48c005a31d2d3;hb=4a6908a3a050aacc9c3a2f36b276b46c0629ad91> -- Sebastian Kuzminsky Dualism?
