Is it a parallel port? Is there a simple way to get it configured
and useable? Does a driver need to be written? If so, does anyone
have some docs on it?
yes. yes/unknown. it is written, but not really well tested.
look in sys/dev/sbus/bpp.c ...
I have a pc532 with 8 serial ports, but I can convert 2 of them
into parallel ports. I'd like a bit more speed between the two
machines, and thought this might be a simple solution...
sounds like a good idea. and the sparc port would benefit from it
a lot, too.. :-)
