When, ah ah say when boy, is the Sparc port going to have support for my
damned parallel port?!?!
It annoys me at home, 'cause I have to route my print jobs via my NT box
(hack spit) and at work it stops me installing it on our heavily-loaded but
under-resourced Solaris 2.5.1 print server because one of the printers is on
the parallel port. This means I can't prove to my boss that NetBSD is a
viable alternative (which is just a point of principle rather than a definite
need, but still).
What'd it take to get this done for 1.3.3? A guinea pig? I'll volunteer!
Cash? Women? Beer? Drugs? Hardware? Pizza?
