- When you load pg, you need to specify some parameters like:
-
- drive0=0x378,0,0,4,0,0
-
- The parameters are:
-
- <prt>,<pro>,<uni>,<mod>,<slv>,<dly>
-
- Where,
-
- <prt> is the base of the parallel port address for
- the corresponding drive. (required)
-
- <pro> is the protocol number for the adapter that
- supports this drive. These numbers are
- logged by 'paride' when the protocol modules
- are initialised. (0 if not given)
-
- <uni> for those adapters that support chained
- devices, this is the unit selector for the
- chain of devices on the given port. It should
- be zero for devices that don't support chaining.
- (0 if not given)
-
- <mod> this can be -1 to choose the best mode, or one
- of the mode numbers supported by the adapter.
- (-1 if not given)
-
- <slv> ATAPI devices can be jumpered to master or slave.
- Set this to 0 to choose the master drive, 1 to
- choose the slave, -1 (the default) to choose the
- first drive found.
-
- <dly> some parallel ports require the driver to
- go more slowly. -1 sets a default value that
- should work with the chosen protocol. Otherwise,
- set this to a small integer, the larger it is
- the slower the port i/o. In some cases, setting
- this to zero will speed up the device. (default -1)
-
- EPP mode is best. Your BIOS may not give you that option, unfortunately.
- What options does it support ?
