Has anyone managed to get the lpt.c (parallel printer driver) supplied
in the 0.1 kernel sources to work? I've managed to get it to compile :-)
but it won't even find my lpt1: port at 0x378.

BTW several modifications to source and to kernel configuration files are
required even to get that far!!

I'll keep working at it, but if someone else has done it, it'll save me
duplicating effort.

Another point: what is the method used to create the diff-like patches
that are posted to this group - and what is the way to apply them to the
files automatically, rather than typing them in by hand :-( ?
