Err, I did specify "working" :-) (You can configure the NetBSD one either way
as well) Does the FreeBSD interrupting lpt driver work in all cases?  The
last time this came up Bruce Evans joined in the discussion, and I was
under the impression that the FreeBSD lpt driver had the same sort of
problems.  If this is wrong, please correct me.
