I'm confused ... do you mean to say that Apollo sold you an
Ikon-10092 parallel printer interface board, but did not supply
the Centronics I/O device driver software ... and that they do
not have a version available for the DN10000? I find that hard
to believe. It took me 5 days of hard work, but I ported my
GPIO driver for the 10092/10097 from my DN4000 to the DN10000
in under two hours (the other 4 days and 6 hours were spent
finding the OS kernal bug in SR10.2.p and developing a work
around with the help of one of the OS kernal members in
Chelmsford). Do you mean that Apollo actually doesn't have
a device driver, or that they have one but are working at
a snail's pace in delivering your copy?
