8config ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
9	bool
10	help
11	  Select this config option from the architecture Kconfig if
12	  the architecture might have PC parallel port hardware.
13
14menuconfig PARPORT
15	tristate "Parallel port support"
16	depends on HAS_IOMEM
17	---help---
18	  If you want to use devices connected to your machine's parallel port
19	  (the connector at the computer with 25 holes), e.g. printer, ZIP
20	  drive, PLIP link (Parallel Line Internet Protocol is mainly used to
21	  create a mini network by connecting the parallel ports of two local
22	  machines) etc., then you need to say Y here; please read
23	  <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> and
24	  <file:drivers/parport/BUGS-parport>.
25
26	  For extensive information about drivers for many devices attaching
27	  to the parallel port see <http://www.torque.net/linux-pp.html> on
28	  the WWW.
29
30	  It is possible to share a single parallel port among several devices
31	  and it is safe to compile all the corresponding drivers into the
32	  kernel. To compile parallel port support as a module, choose M here:
33	  the module will be called parport.
34	  If you have more than one parallel port and want to specify which
35	  port and IRQ to be used by this driver at module load time, take a
36	  look at <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst>.
37
38	  If unsure, say Y.
39
40if PARPORT
41
42config PARPORT_PC
43	tristate "PC-style hardware"
44	depends on ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_PC_PARPORT
45	help
46	  You should say Y here if you have a PC-style parallel port. All
47	  IBM PC compatible computers and some Alphas have PC-style
48	  parallel ports.  PA-RISC owners should only say Y here if they
49	  have a SuperIO parallel port.
50
51	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
52	  module will be called parport_pc.
53
54	  If unsure, say Y.
55
56config PARPORT_SERIAL
57	tristate "Multi-IO cards (parallel and serial)"
58	depends on SERIAL_8250_PCI && PARPORT_PC && PCI
59	help
60	  This adds support for multi-IO PCI cards that have parallel and
61	  serial ports.  You should say Y or M here.  If you say M, the module
62	  will be called parport_serial.
63
64config PARPORT_PC_FIFO
65	bool "Use FIFO/DMA if available"
66	depends on PARPORT_PC
67	help
68	  Many parallel port chipsets provide hardware that can speed up
69	  printing. Say Y here if you want to take advantage of that.
70
71	  As well as actually having a FIFO, or DMA capability, the kernel
72	  will need to know which IRQ the parallel port has.  By default,
73	  parallel port interrupts will not be used, and so neither will the
74	  FIFO.  See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/parport.rst> to find out how to
75	  specify which IRQ/DMA to use.
76
77config PARPORT_PC_SUPERIO
78	bool "SuperIO chipset support"
79	depends on PARPORT_PC && !PARISC
80	help
81	  Saying Y here enables some probes for Super-IO chipsets in order to
82	  find out things like base addresses, IRQ lines and DMA channels.  It
83	  is safe to say N.
84
85config PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA
86	tristate "Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports"
87	depends on PCMCIA && PARPORT_PC
88	help
89	  Say Y here if you need PCMCIA support for your PC-style parallel
90	  ports. If unsure, say N.
91
92config PARPORT_IP32
93	tristate "SGI IP32 builtin port"
94	depends on SGI_IP32
95	select PARPORT_NOT_PC
96	help
97	  Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port on
98	  SGI O2 machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
99	  called parport_ip32.  If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
100
101config PARPORT_AMIGA
102	tristate "Amiga builtin port"
103	depends on AMIGA
104	select PARPORT_NOT_PC
105	help
106	  Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
107	  Amiga machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
108	  called parport_amiga. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
109
110config PARPORT_MFC3
111	tristate "Multiface III parallel port"
112	depends on ZORRO
113	select PARPORT_NOT_PC
114	help
115	  Say Y here if you need parallel port support for the MFC3 card.
116	  This code is also available as a module (say M), called
117	  parport_mfc3. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
118
119config PARPORT_ATARI
120	tristate "Atari hardware"
121	depends on ATARI
122	select PARPORT_NOT_PC
123	help
124	  Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
125	  Atari machines. This code is also available as a module (say M),
126	  called parport_atari. If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.
127
128config PARPORT_GSC
129	tristate
130	default GSC
131	select PARPORT_NOT_PC
132
133config PARPORT_SUNBPP
134	tristate "Sparc hardware"
135	depends on SBUS
136	select PARPORT_NOT_PC
137	help
138	  This driver provides support for the bidirectional parallel port
139	  found on many Sun machines. Note that many of the newer Ultras
140	  actually have pc style hardware instead.
141
142config PARPORT_AX88796
143	tristate "AX88796 Parallel Port"
144	select PARPORT_NOT_PC
145	help
146	  Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on
147	  the AX88796 network controller chip. This code is also available
148	  as a module (say M), called parport_ax88796.
149
150	  The driver is not dependent on the AX88796 network driver, and
151	  should not interfere with the networking functions of the chip.
152
153config PARPORT_1284
154	bool "IEEE 1284 transfer modes"
155	help
156	  If you have a printer that supports status readback or device ID, or
157	  want to use a device that uses enhanced parallel port transfer modes
158	  such as EPP and ECP, say Y here to enable advanced IEEE 1284
159	  transfer modes. Also say Y if you want device ID information to
160	  appear in /proc/sys/dev/parport/*/autoprobe*. It is safe to say N.
