Hi again... So i think i have compiled it now... i got the i2c-pport.ko file and no errors making it. Must confess that I am a little confused though, and the more I read the more insecure I get. Seems like Jean boiled the paralell port drivers (5) together some day back in 2003? Is that correct? What actually happened with the different access modes? Exactly what modules do I need to load to get my parallell port lines to speak i2c? Cheers. /Andreas > > On Thu, 10 Mar 2005 andreas at schutz.se wrote: > >> Hi again! >> >> WOW!
