Hello! (newbie alert!)

I'm writing a driver for the printer port on hp300's (345, 380, 382 ..)
and I'd just like to confirm something.

The parallel port is currently at ipl3 (corresponds atm. to IPL_BIO, shared
with oscsi and hpib. I'm not sure that's a good thing). When ever the machine
gets a disk interrupt the dispatcher also calls parintr() and I have to
check par_sc->sc_count. I'm not sure that IPL_BIO would be a good choice as
a single "ls /tmp" on an empty directory hits parintr() three times.

Please whack me with a clue-by-four, thank you.
