<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I went through all the archives of the mail lists.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also found the following doc on the net that

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But there was no clear description on the

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How does the Linux OS support the different kinds
of device on the parallel port? what is the design of the parport, based on
which new devices will be suppoted ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what layered concept does the linux parport driver
