me and also J. Fernando Moyano (and others?) are still fighting
a loosing battle for some modifications of P.Popevics/G.Krollings
latest codings to get the 1200p working at last.
Since we all don't have much spare time, this will take a time :(
Currently I try to get the Win3.1 - driver running under Wine
to trace the parport and Fernando wanted to do similar tracing
running VMware. If we get useful data, we will need your help
to put the mess of parport-tracing data, Windriver-disassembly
data and the still-not-understood registers in the D9600 code
into something reasonable.
It seems to me that most tracing and devel work can be done
easier on linux distribs that are somewhat more GNU-style and
more standardized than SuSIX 7.0, e.g. Debian 'slink' or,
better, the new 'potatoe', but that's my personal opinion...
