Linux supports PLIP connections. If your parallel cable is really a PLIP
one (ie, the pin connections are like this:
STROBE output 1*
D0->ERROR 2 - 15 15 - 2
D1->SLCT 3 - 13 13 - 3
D2->PAPOUT 4 - 12 12 - 4
D3->ACK 5 - 10 10 - 5
D4->BUSY 6 - 11 11 - 6
D5,D6,D7 are 7*, 8*, 9*
AUTOFD output 14*
INIT output 16*
SLCTIN 17 - 17
extra grounds are 18*,19*,20*,21*,22*,23*,24*
GROUND 25 - 25
* Do not connect these pins on either end
) then you should be able to use it. I seem to recall there being a
SANA-II PLIP driver, so you ought to be able to use Miami or AmiTCP on the
Amiga end.
