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