I'm *sure* I'm doing something wrong here, but I can't figure it out.
I am using cvsup to keep a -current cvs tree on my system. According to
the web access cvs tree, a file I am looking at should be version 1.16.
When I try
cvs -R co -f src/sys/dev/ppbus/immio.c
I get version 1.15. When I l

Could someone point me to a device that is well-written, follows newbus, and

Hi all,
I have been working with Nicholas Souchu to fix a few issues with the
parallel port zip, especially the zip+ (250 meg version).
I know this is deprecated hardware, but I would like to know if it helps.
The driver should now work correctly in PS2 transfer mode, which in theory
should be

Apparently, you make a floppy with the supplied image, boot with it to
find the bad RAM addresses, and then those addresses are passed on as a
kernel parameter once the patch is applied. Bad addresses will be excluded
from addres
Does anyone recall seeing or making a remark about a group of interrupts or
hardware port locations that could be causing this problem? I was searching
my email and i can't find it.
Someone said 4.0 allocates a group of hardware locations (0x380-0x3f0?)

I'm not sure if this belongs on -stable or -current. Has anyone taken
a look at the timeout problem in the parallel port zip driver?

Here is a concern i have. I had a hard time getting my parallel port
