+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.).
+
+Adaptec APA-348 adapter
+CONFIG_PPSCSI_T348
+ This option enables support for the APA-348 adapter from Adaptec
+ (also known as Trantor T348). If you build this as a module it will

+CONFIG_PPSCSI_T358

+
+Iomega VPI0 adapter
+CONFIG_PPSCSI_VPI0
+ This option enables support for the Iomega VPI0 adapter found in the
+ original ZIP-100 drives and the Jaz Traveller. If you build this as
+ a module it will be called vpi0.o.
+
+OnSpec 90c26 adapter
+CONFIG_PPSCSI_ONSCSI
+ This option enables support for the OnSpec 90c26 in its SCSI adapter
+ mode. If you build this as a module it will be called onscsi.o.
+
+Shining SparSCI adapter
+CONFIG_PPSCSI_SPARCSI
+ This option enables support for the WBS-11A parallel port SCSI
+ adapter. This adapter has been marketed by LinkSys as the

+ build this as a module it will be called sparcsi.o.
+
+Shuttle EPSA-2 adapter
+CONFIG_PPSCSI_EPSA2
