When I asked about making a parallel-port driver that was more low-level
a little while ago, I discovered that not all architectures can control
all the lines on their parallel port (the Amiga was an example of this).

It might be possible to do this on machines that use the same parallel port
IC that the PC uses (doesn't the Alpha use the same one?), but I don't think
it's possible on all NetBSD architectures.
