<EM>&gt; &gt; I think that a step in the right direction would be to have a shared

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

<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; (For the special case of collection IEEE 1284 Device IDs, there are
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; other fallbacks to try first involving /proc, and so this should be a
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; part of the interface.)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; FWIW, I have made a small start on this. Any suggestions about how
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the interface should look would be greatly appreciated.
</EM><BR>
<P>I'd like to have some raw access functions to access the ports directly. The
<BR>
protocolls to access parport scanners often are proprietary so that it's
<BR>
difficult to define a unique interface to them.
