I had a look at the SCSI-HOWTO and it seems to say that parallel port
CDs are not currently supported:
SCSI hosts that will not work :
All parallel->SCSI adapters, Rancho SCSI boards, and Grass Roots SCSI
boards. BusLogic FlashPoint boards, such as the BT-930/932/950, are
currently unsupported.
But it didn't put them in the category of "SCSI hosts that will NEVER
work". Doesn't this suggest that they may one day work?
Where did you read that there will never be support for them?
Anyway, thanks for your reply and tip about reading the SCSI-HOWTO.
