Linux and parallel port IDE devices
===================================
PARIDE v1.03 (c) 1997-8 Grant Guenther <[email protected]>
PATA_PARPORT (c) 2023 Ondrej Zary
1. Introduction
===============
Owing to the simplicity and near universality of the parallel port interface
to personal computers, many external devices such as portable hard-disk,
CD-ROM, LS-120 and tape drives use the parallel port to connect to their
host computer. While some devices (notably scanners) use ad-hoc methods
to pass commands and data through the parallel port interface, most
external devices are actually identical to an internal model, but with
a parallel-port adapter chip added in. Some of the original parallel port
adapters were little more than mechanisms for multiplexing a SCSI bus.
(The Iomega PPA-3 adapter used in the ZIP drives is an example of this
approach). Most current designs, however, take a different approach.
The adapter chip reproduces a small ISA or IDE bus in the external device
and the communication protocol provides operations for reading and writing
device registers, as well as data block transfer functions. Sometimes,
the device being addressed via the parallel cable is a standard SCSI
controller like an NCR 5380. The "ditto" family of external tape
drives use the ISA replicator to interface a floppy disk controller,
which is then connected to a floppy-tape mechanism. The vast majority
of external parallel port devices, however, are now based on standard
IDE type devices, which require no intermediate controller. If one
were to open up a parallel port CD-ROM drive, for instance, one would
find a standard ATAPI CD-ROM drive, a power supply, and a single adapter
that interconnected a standard PC parallel port cable and a standard
IDE cable. It is usually possible to exchange the CD-ROM device with
any other device using the IDE interface.
The document describes the support in Linux for parallel port IDE
devices. It does not cover parallel port SCSI devices, "ditto" tape
drives or scanners. Many different devices are supported by the
parallel port IDE subsystem, including:
- MicroSolutions backpack CD-ROM
- MicroSolutions backpack PD/CD
- MicroSolutions backpack hard-drives
- MicroSolutions backpack 8000t tape drive
- SyQuest EZ-135, EZ-230 & SparQ drives
- Avatar Shark
- Imation Superdisk LS-120
- Maxell Superdisk LS-120
- FreeCom Power CD
- Hewlett-Packard 5GB and 8GB tape drives
- Hewlett-Packard 7100 and 7200 CD-RW drives
as well as most of the clone and no-name products on the market.
To support such a wide range of devices, pata_parport is actually structured
in two parts. There is a base pata_parport module which provides an interface
to kernel libata subsystem, registry and some common methods for accessing
the parallel ports.
The second component is a set of low-level protocol drivers for each of the
parallel port IDE adapter chips. Thanks to the interest and encouragement of
Linux users from many parts of the world, support is available for almost all
known adapter protocols:

==== ====================================== ====
2. Using pata_parport subsystem
===============================
While configuring the Linux kernel, you may choose either to build
the pata_parport drivers into your kernel, or to build them as modules.
In either case, you will need to select "Parallel port IDE device support"
and at least one of the parallel port communication protocols.
If you do not know what kind of parallel port adapter is used in your drive,
you could begin by checking the file names and any text files on your DOS
installation floppy. Alternatively, you can look at the markings on
the adapter chip itself. That's usually sufficient to identify the
correct device.
You can actually select all the protocol modules, and allow the pata_parport
subsystem to try them all for you.
For the "brand-name" products listed above, here are the protocol
and high-level drivers that you would use:
================ ============ ========
Manufacturer Model Protocol
================ ============ ========
MicroSolutions CD-ROM bpck
MicroSolutions PD drive bpck
MicroSolutions hard-drive bpck
MicroSolutions 8000t tape bpck
SyQuest EZ, SparQ epat
Imation Superdisk epat
Maxell Superdisk friq
Avatar Shark epat
FreeCom CD-ROM frpw
Hewlett-Packard 5GB Tape epat
Hewlett-Packard 7200e (CD) epat
Hewlett-Packard 7200e (CD-R) epat
================ ============ ========
All parports and all protocol drivers are probed automatically unless probe=0
parameter is used. So just "modprobe epat" is enough for an Imation SuperDisk
drive to work.
Manual device creation::
# echo "port protocol mode unit delay" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
where:
======== ================================================
port parport name (or "auto" for all parports)
protocol protocol name (or "auto" for all protocols)
mode mode number (protocol-specific) or -1 for probe
unit unit number (for backpack only, see below)
delay I/O delay (see troubleshooting section below)
======== ================================================
If you happen to be using a MicroSolutions backpack device, you will
also need to know the unit ID number for each drive. This is usually
the last two digits of the drive's serial number (but read MicroSolutions'
documentation about this).
If you omit the parameters from the end, defaults will be used, e.g.:
Probe all parports with all protocols::
# echo auto >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Probe parport0 using protocol epat and mode 4 (EPP-16)::
# echo "parport0 epat 4" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Probe parport0 using all protocols::
# echo "parport0 auto" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Probe all parports using protoocol epat::
# echo "auto epat" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Deleting devices::
# echo pata_parport.0 >/sys/bus/pata_parport/delete_device
3. Troubleshooting
==================
3.1 Use EPP mode if you can
----------------------------
The most common problems that people report with the pata_parport drivers
concern the parallel port CMOS settings. At this time, none of the
protocol modules support ECP mode, or any ECP combination modes.
If you are able to do so, please set your parallel port into EPP mode
using your CMOS setup procedure.
3.2 Check the port delay
-------------------------
Some parallel ports cannot reliably transfer data at full speed. To
offset the errors, the protocol modules introduce a "port
delay" between each access to the i/o ports. Each protocol sets
a default value for this delay. In most cases, the user can override
the default and set it to 0 - resulting in somewhat higher transfer
rates. In some rare cases (especially with older 486 systems) the
default delays are not long enough. if you experience corrupt data
transfers, or unexpected failures, you may wish to increase the
port delay.
3.3 Some drives need a printer reset
-------------------------------------
There appear to be a number of "noname" external drives on the market
that do not always power up correctly. We have noticed this with some
drives based on OnSpec and older Freecom adapters. In these rare cases,
the adapter can often be reinitialised by issuing a "printer reset" on
the parallel port. As the reset operation is potentially disruptive in
multiple device environments, the pata_parport drivers will not do it
automatically. You can however, force a printer reset by doing::
insmod lp reset=1
rmmod lp
If you have one of these marginal cases, you should probably build
your pata_parport drivers as modules, and arrange to do the printer reset
before loading the pata_parport drivers.

Parallel-port IDE 구조와 지원 protocol
1-82이 문서는 PARIDE v1.03(1997-1998, Grant Guenther <[email protected]>)과 PATA_PARPORT(2023, Ondrej Zary)의 Linux parallel-port IDE 지원을 설명합니다.
Personal computer의 parallel port가 단순하고 거의 보편적이어서 portable hard disk, CD-ROM, LS-120, tape drive 같은 외장 device가 host 연결에 사용했습니다. Scanner 일부는 ad-hoc command/data 방식을 쓰지만, 외장 device 대부분은 internal model에 parallel-port adapter chip을 더한 형태입니다.
초기 adapter 일부는 ZIP drive의 Iomega PPA-3처럼 SCSI bus를 multiplex했습니다. 현재 설계는 외장 device에 작은 ISA 또는 IDE bus를 재현하고 protocol이 device-register read/write와 data-block transfer operation을 제공합니다. NCR 5380 같은 standard SCSI controller를 parallel cable로 연결하기도 하고, `ditto` tape family는 ISA replicator로 floppy controller와 floppy-tape mechanism을 연결합니다.
그러나 대부분은 intermediate controller가 필요 없는 standard IDE device입니다. Parallel-port CD-ROM을 열면 standard ATAPI CD-ROM, power supply, PC parallel cable과 IDE cable을 잇는 adapter 하나가 있습니다. 보통 IDE interface의 다른 device로 CD-ROM을 교체할 수도 있습니다.
이 문서는 parallel-port IDE만 다루며 parallel-port SCSI, `ditto` tape drive, scanner는 제외합니다. MicroSolutions backpack 계열, SyQuest EZ/SparQ, Avatar Shark, Imation·Maxell LS-120, FreeCom Power CD, HP 5/8GB tape와 7100/7200 CD-RW를 포함해 많은 clone/no-name 제품을 지원합니다.
외장 case 안에서 parallel protocol이 standard IDE/ATAPI bus를 재현합니다.
`pata_parport`는 두 부분으로 나뉩니다. Base `pata_parport` module은 kernel libata interface, registry와 parallel-port 공통 접근 method를 제공합니다. 두 번째는 adapter chip별 low-level protocol driver set입니다.
지원 protocol 이름, adapter와 원 개발 지역입니다.
Pata_parport 선택·probe·device 관리
83-165Kernel configuration에서 pata_parport driver를 built-in 또는 module로 선택할 수 있습니다. 두 경우 모두 `Parallel port IDE device support`와 최소 하나의 parallel-port communication protocol을 선택해야 합니다.
Drive adapter 종류를 모르면 DOS installation floppy의 filename/text file 또는 adapter chip marking을 확인합니다. 모든 protocol module을 선택해 subsystem이 전부 시도하게 할 수도 있습니다.
문서에 명시된 manufacturer/model별 low-level protocol입니다.
`probe=0` parameter를 사용하지 않으면 모든 parport와 protocol driver를 자동 probe합니다. 따라서 Imation SuperDisk는 `modprobe epat`만으로 동작합니다.
Device를 수동 생성할 때 `/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device`에 다음 5-field string을 씁니다.
Manual device creation::
# echo "port protocol mode unit delay" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
where:
======== ================================================
port parport name (or "auto" for all parports)
protocol protocol name (or "auto" for all protocols)
mode mode number (protocol-specific) or -1 for probe
unit unit number (for backpack only, see below)
delay I/O delay (see troubleshooting section below)
======== ================================================
끝 field를 생략하면 default를 사용합니다.
MicroSolutions backpack은 drive마다 unit ID가 필요하며 보통 serial number 마지막 두 자리입니다. 정확한 값은 MicroSolutions 문서를 확인합니다.
예제는 모든 port/protocol probe, `parport0`의 `epat` mode 4(EPP-16), `parport0`의 모든 protocol, 모든 port의 `epat` probe를 보여 줍니다. Device 삭제는 `delete_device`에 name을 씁니다.
If you omit the parameters from the end, defaults will be used, e.g.:
Probe all parports with all protocols::
# echo auto >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Probe parport0 using protocol epat and mode 4 (EPP-16)::
# echo "parport0 epat 4" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Probe parport0 using all protocols::
# echo "parport0 auto" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Probe all parports using protoocol epat::
# echo "auto epat" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
Deleting devices::
# echo pata_parport.0 >/sys/bus/pata_parport/delete_device
Auto와 explicit field가 탐색 범위를 좁힙니다.
Troubleshooting: EPP mode
166-177Pata_parport 문제 중 가장 흔한 것은 parallel-port CMOS setting입니다. 현재 protocol module은 ECP mode 또는 ECP combination mode를 지원하지 않습니다. 가능하면 CMOS setup에서 parallel port를 EPP mode로 설정합니다.
PATA_PARPORT에서 권장·비지원하는 mode입니다.
Troubleshooting: port delay
178-190일부 parallel port는 full speed data transfer가 안정적이지 않습니다. Protocol module은 error를 줄이기 위해 I/O port access 사이에 `port delay`를 넣고 protocol마다 default를 정합니다.
대부분은 default를 0으로 override해 transfer rate를 조금 높일 수 있습니다. 반대로 오래된 486 system 같은 드문 경우 default delay가 부족하므로 data corruption이나 예상 밖 failure가 나면 port delay를 늘립니다.
속도와 신뢰성 사이에서 delay를 조정합니다.
Troubleshooting: printer reset
191-207OnSpec 또는 오래된 Freecom adapter 기반 일부 no-name 외장 drive는 power-up이 항상 올바르지 않습니다. 이때 parallel port에 `printer reset`을 발행하면 adapter를 다시 initialize할 수 있습니다.
Reset은 multiple-device environment를 방해할 수 있으므로 pata_parport driver가 자동 실행하지 않습니다. 다음처럼 `lp` module을 잠깐 load해 강제합니다.
automatically. You can however, force a printer reset by doing::
insmod lp reset=1
rmmod lp
이런 marginal case에서는 pata_parport driver를 module로 build하고 driver를 load하기 전에 printer reset을 수행하도록 구성하는 편이 좋습니다.
Pata_parport driver보다 먼저 lp reset을 수행합니다.
