Re: [Sheflug] Parallel IDE CD-ROM frustrations

Hi All, (especially Will)

My parallel port doesn't seem to show up anywhere!

Okay, I've checked my /proc/ioports. It doesn't mention my parallel 
port at all! Here it is, in its entirety. The trouble is, I don't 
really understand what it's telling me. (Okay, so it's memory 
addresses mapped against devices, but what do I do to make sure the 
parallel port gets a mention?)

====begin /proc/ioports ====

0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0070-007f : rtc
0080-008f : dma page reg
00a0-00bf : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : fpu
01f0-01f7 : ide0
02e0-02f1 : xirc2ps_cs
02f8-02ff : serial(set)
03c0-03df : vga+
03e0-03e1 : i82365
03f0-03f5 : floppy
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f7-03f7 : floppy DIR
03f8-03ff : serial(set)
0af8-0aff : serial(set)
12f8-12ff : xirc2ps_cs

==== end /proc/ioports ====

Any idea what I should do now?

Cheers,

James
