+/* Hey EMACS -*- linux-c -*-
+ *
+ * tipar - low level driver for handling a parallel link cable designed
+ * for Texas Instruments graphing calculators (http://lpg.ticalc.org).
+ * A part of the TiLP project.
+ *
+ * Copyright (C) 2000-2002, Romain Lievin <roms@lpg.ticalc.org>
+ * under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
+ *
+ * Various fixes & clean-up from the Linux Kernel Mailing List
+ * (Alan Cox, Richard B. Johnson, Christoph Hellwig).
+ */
+
+/* This driver should, in theory, work with any parallel port that has an
+ * appropriate low-level driver; all I/O is done through the parport
+ * abstraction layer.
+ *
+ * If this driver is built into the kernel, you can configure it using the
+ * kernel command-line.  For example:
+ *
+ *      tipar=timeout,delay       (set timeout and delay)
+ *
+ * If the driver is loaded as a module, similar functionality is available
+ * using module parameters.  The equivalent of the above commands would be:
+ *
+ *      # insmod tipar timeout=15 delay=10
+ */
+
+/* COMPATIBILITY WITH OLD KERNELS
+ *
+ * Usually, parallel cables were bound to ports at
+ * particular I/O addresses, as follows:
+ *
+ *      tipar0             0x378
+ *      tipar1             0x278
+ *      tipar2             0x3bc
+ *
+ *
+ * This driver, by default, binds tipar devices according to parport and
+ * the minor number.
