I've been wondering why PARPORT_PC_FIFO is EXPERIMENTAL. If it's expected to work these days it could be made non-experimental, and perhaps enabled always even. Also not sure of the value of PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO. I haven't checked in some time, but that code didn't use to work for me even though I have a chipset which seems supported (Winbond 83977). These days, PNP (-ACPI) is providing PARPORT with the needed info for me: | pnp: the driver 'parport_pc' has been registered | pnp: match found with the PnP device '00:09' and the driver 'parport_pc' | parport_pc 00:09: reported by Plug and Play ACPI | parport0: PC-style at 0x378 (0x778), irq 7, dma 3 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP,DMA] | lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven). If that's also expected, perhaps that option and code could just go... Rene.
