SBUS Sparc printer card.

I'm wondering if such card is supported either for using the SparcPrinter port or for using the bidirectionnal // port ? If a draft of driverexist somewhere ? Or if all the data relevant to this SBUS card are available ? I'm using old SparcStation 1/1+/IPX with Debian 2.2 Thank you ! Eric.

Well, first of all, what do you want it to do? Does it show up currently during boot? Take a look at the output from 'dmesg' and see if there is a line that makes reference to 'fd' 'fdc' or 'floppy' to be sure the kernel actually sees it. We're a friendly bunch and don't tend to flame nobs. :)
