Re: [avr-chat] linux parallel device

In article <address@hidden> you write:

IMHO, you need that one (though I never used a bit-bang programmer
under Linux myself).

/dev/parport0 has major # 99 on the Linux systems I've got access to.
If your /dev/parport* nodes are missing, you probably need to create
them (unlike on FreeBSD, where they automatically appear one the
respective driver has been configured).

I can confirm that "modprobe ppdev" (as Artur suggested) makes a
device with major # 99 appear in /proc/devices.
