Message-ID: <256ADBB5.19093@ateng.com> Date: 22 Nov 89 17:47:32 GMT Organization: A T Engineering, Tampa, FL Lines: 17 SCO Xenix, like all AT Unixen, is shipped with a driver for IBM parallel ports. Unfortunately, at least with SCO Xenix, the parallel driver uses the internal kernel data structures (clists) intended for use with serial lines. The use of clists lowers the speed of parallel to something far slower than the hardware could support otherwise. We need a fast parallel driver. Perhaps some one of you, out there, has also seen the need for a simple, fast parallel driver for IBM parallel ports. If you have such a beast, or know where I can get one, please let me know. It's a crying shame to have slow printer output when it's the driver causing the slowdown. Please E-Mail replies (and/or code :-)). I'll summarize to the net. -- You may redistribute this article only to those who may freely do likewise.
