With *all* >lines connected and proper shielding? I also thought I'd have one Well, it worked fine (under 386bsd) until I applied the last patch kit (0.2.3). I was using the interrupless-lpt.shar package from agate, and it appears that the latest patchkit uses that; but to be honest with you, I can't be sure. In any case, -something- is different, and I don't have the skill to diagnose what it is; I just hope that someone who was involved in adding the lpt/lpa drivers to the latest patchkit will recognize what is wrong and fix it soon. Does the lpt/lpa that comes with pk-0.2.3 use any new lines in the cable? I'm not sure. Anyone? What the difference in the "official" lpt/lpa and the interruptless-lpt.shar kit on agate?
