All, I need to connect a compass having an i2c bus to a computer. The current plan is to use one of these i2c/parallel port adapters. However, I'm not sure if it will indeed work. Here is what I think at the moment. Many kernel drivers do support e.g. the Philips adapters. However, it seems that this is not to use the adapter externally. This would however work with the i2c-pcf-epp driver, but it hasn't been ported yet to linux 2.6 (I saw a more than 1 year old message on that on this list, but no follow up). The doc for the i2c-parport kernel module gives the schematics of a diy "i2c-over-parallel-port" adapter. Anybody knows how easy it is to use? Any suggestions? Cheers, Fred
