###############################################################################
When you load pg, you need to specify some parameters like:
drive0=0x378,0,0,4,0,0
The parameters are:
<prt>,<pro>,<uni>,<mod>,<slv>,<dly>
Where,
<prt> is the base of the parallel port address for
the corresponding drive. (required)
<pro> is the protocol number for the adapter that
supports this drive. These numbers are
logged by 'paride' when the protocol modules
are initialised. (0 if not given)
<uni> for those adapters that support chained
devices, this is the unit selector for the
chain of devices on the given port. It should
be zero for devices that don't support chaining.
(0 if not given)
<mod> this can be -1 to choose the best mode, or one
of the mode numbers supported by the adapter.
(-1 if not given)
<slv> ATAPI devices can be jumpered to master or slave.
Set this to 0 to choose the master drive, 1 to
choose the slave, -1 (the default) to choose the
first drive found.
<dly> some parallel ports require the driver to
go more slowly. -1 sets a default value that
should work with the chosen protocol. Otherwise,
set this to a small integer, the larger it is
the slower the port i/o. In some cases, setting
this to zero will speed up the device. (default -1)
EPP mode is best. Your BIOS may not give you that option, unfortunately.
What options does it support ?
