+Parallel port SCSI device support
+CONFIG_PPSCSI
+ There are many external CD-ROM and disk devices that connect through
+ your computer's parallel port. Lots of them are actually SCSI
+ devices using a parallel port SCSI adapter. This option enables the
+ ppSCSI subsystem which contains drivers for many of these external
+ drives. You may also want to look at CONFIG_PARIDE (Parallel port
+ IDE device support).
+
+ If you built ppSCSI support into your kernel, you may still build
+ the individual protocol modules and high-level drivers as loadable
+ modules. If you build this support as a module, it will be called
+ ppscsi.o.
+
+ To use the ppSCSI support, you must say Y or M here and also to at
+ least one protocol driver (e.g. "Shuttle EPST adapter", "Iomega VPI0
+ adapter", "Shining ScarSCI adapter" etc.).
