This file is intended to help with ATAPI <-> Parallel Port devices on Linux

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 wodim -dummy 

6.) Use the file rc.pp and modify for your needs

7.) Your CD drive now appears as /dev/pcd?
