so by this logic, shouldn't it also be possible to find a way to use
various other parallel port devices - for instance **no name**
parallel port scanners, etc - or even the infamous WIN-modems ??
Has any work been done in hese areas ??
BTW - what's the status on USB for Linux ?? I recently read in PC
Magazine that most scanner manufacturers are dumping SCSI and moving
to USB. And of course modems, mice, etc have been on the market for a
while.
