RE: [SLE] DMA for parallel port on COMPAQ ML370

<Quote> I folks, I've a COMPAQ ML370 running SuSE 8.0, and the parallel port is rather slow (well, works fine, but with a 300 LPM Printronix's printer do you see the difference!). I already changed the IRQ from -1 to 7; but now I want to change DMA, I used both 3 and 0, but still the /proc/sys/parport/parport0/dma have -1; any ideas? </Quote> Well I want to add: I double checked the ML370's BIOS and the only available options for the parallel port are: "LPT1:, IRQ7"; "LPT3:, IRQ7" and "Disabled"; also there's no way (visible) to change the port mode to ECP/SPP...
