<P>I think that a step in the right direction would be to have a shared

library providing the same functionality as /dev/parport, and have
<BR>
the library use the native OS support if available, and fall back to
<BR>
inb/outb or whatever, failing if not root.

<P>(For the special case of collection IEEE 1284 Device IDs, there are
<BR>
other fallbacks to try first involving /proc, and so this should be a
<BR>
part of the interface.)
