Before you start, read

Make sure that your parallel port device is set up to EPP mode
|
|
from within the BIOS. In many cases it is best to set the PP delay to 0.
|
|
|
|
Here is a short explanation how to make the FreeCom Traveller work
|
|
in 4x speed on a notebook:
|
|
|
|
1.) Set BIOS for parallel port to 'EPP'.
|
|
|
|
2.) Load drivers in default mode:
|
|
|
|
# modprobe paride
|
|
# modprobe <driver for parallel port adaptor>
|
|
# modprobe pg
|
|
|
|
in case of a FreeCom Traveller this is:
|
|
|
|
# modprobe paride
|
|
# modprobe friq
|
|
# modprobe pg
|
|
|
|
3.) Check kernel log for paride messages:
|
|
|
|
# dmesg
|
|
...
|
|
paride: version 1.04 installed
|
|
paride: friq registered as protocol 0
|
|
...
|
|
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,PS2,EPP]
|
|
parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
|
|
...
|
|
pg: pg version 1.02, major 97
|
|
pg0: Sharing parport0 at 0x378
|
|
pg0: friq 1.01, Freecom IQ ASIC-2 adapter at 0x378, mode 4 (EPP-32), delay 1
|
|
pg0: CD-R/RW RW8040A, master
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
4.) load module again but use different parameters:
|
|
'drive0=IO-Port,Protocol,Unit,Mode,Master/Slave,Delay drive1=...'
|
|
if you have only one drive at the parallel port
|
|
'drive0=IO-Port,0,0,-1,-1,Delay' e.g. for Delay = 0:
|
|
|
|
# modprobe -r pg
|
|
# modprobe pg drive0=0x378,0,0,-1,-1,0
|
|
|
|
5.) Check for optimum delay using for maximum speed using cdrecord -dummy
|
|
|
|
6.) Use the file rc.pp and modify for your needs
|
|
|
|
7.) Your CD drive now appears as /dev/pcd?
