I have need of a second parallel port to use my old parallel Epson GT5000 scanner.
I've installed a Dolphin 2-port card which Harddrake lists as follows: Vendor: Timedia Technology Co Ltd Bus: PCI Bus identification: 1409:7268:1409:104 Location on the bus: 0:c:0 Description: SUN1888 Simple Comm. Controller Module: unknown Media class: COMMUNICATION_PARALLEL dmesg shows the following segment: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# dmesg | grep parport parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport0: irq 7 detected parport0: Printer, Canon BJC-210SP parport1: PC-style at 0xe800 (0xe400) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] parport2: PC-style at 0xe000 (0xdc00) [PCSPP,TRISTATE] lp0: using parport0 (polling). lp1: using parport1 (polling). lp2: using parport2 (polling). [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# According to the documentation which comes with card I have to do the following steps: # insmod parport.o # insmod parport_pc.o io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800 irq=7,none,none But this is what is returned: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport.o insmod: parport.o: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport_pc.o io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800 irq=7,none,none insmod: parport_pc.o: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# So I try: # insmod parport # insmod parport_pc io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800 irq=7,none,none And get: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport Using /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/parport/parport.o.gz insmod: a module named parport already exists [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# insmod parport_pc io=0x378,0xe000,0xe800 irq=7,none,none Using /lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdk/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o.gz insmod: a module named parport_pc already exists [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]# Now it's obvious I'm doing something wrong ... but I can't for the life of me see what it is ... Can anyone point me in the right/correct direction??? Cheers John (nz)
