35When you load pg, you need to specify some parameters like:
36
37        drive0=0x378,0,0,4,0,0
38
39The parameters are:
40
41 <prt>,<pro>,<uni>,<mod>,<slv>,<dly>
42
43                        Where,
44
45                <prt>   is the base of the parallel port address for
46                        the corresponding drive.  (required)
47
48                <pro>   is the protocol number for the adapter that
49                        supports this drive.  These numbers are
50                        logged by 'paride' when the protocol modules
51                        are initialised.  (0 if not given)
52
53                <uni>   for those adapters that support chained
54                        devices, this is the unit selector for the
55                        chain of devices on the given port.  It should
56                        be zero for devices that don't support chaining.
57                        (0 if not given)
58
59                <mod>   this can be -1 to choose the best mode, or one
60                        of the mode numbers supported by the adapter.
61                        (-1 if not given)
62
63                <slv>   ATAPI devices can be jumpered to master or slave.
64                        Set this to 0 to choose the master drive, 1 to
65                        choose the slave, -1 (the default) to choose the
66                        first drive found.
67
68                <dly>   some parallel ports require the driver to
69                        go more slowly.  -1 sets a default value that
70                        should work with the chosen protocol.  Otherwise,
71                        set this to a small integer, the larger it is
72                        the slower the port i/o.  In some cases, setting
73                        this to zero will speed up the device. (default -1)
74
75EPP mode is best.  Your BIOS may not give you that option, unfortunately.
76What options does it support ?
