   Some time ago, someone posted a circuit idea and kernel patch for 386bsd
that utilized a parallel port to drive an LED chaser circuit as an upmarket
disk-activity monitor.  I carefully filed that article against the day I
would acquire a spare parallel port.

Needless to say, now that I have a free paralell port, I can't find the
article.  Does anyone have the circuit diagram and code that they could
mail to me or repost?
			Ta,
				Chris.
