  I got an old Epson ES300C parallel port scanner from a friend of mine and I
  got
  it to run under Mandrake 7.2 as root (which is not recommended and did
  indeed do
  same bad things to the program while running). So my question is:
  How can i change the permissions on the pio 0x378 so that I can run it as
  regular
  user. This is easy to solve for a SCSI port since its a device, but the pio
  doesn't use a device...
  Any help would be greatly appreciated....
