Parallel Tape Drive on Ultra 5?
Hello. Maybe a Solaris guru can help me out.
I would like to connect a parallel QIC tape drive to an Ultra 5 to write backups.
Is this possible? If I remember my Unix edu years ago, there is a way to tell the system that there is blocking device on the parallel port.
Thanks for your time. If there is a way, this will *really* speed up backups.

parport_register_port
PARPORT_REGISTER_POR(9) Parallel Port Devices PARPORT_REGISTER_POR(9)
NAME
parport_register_port - register a parallel port
SYNOPSIS
struct parport * parport_register_port(unsigned long base, int irq, int dma, struct parport_operations * ops);
ARGUMENTS
base
base I/O address
irq
IRQ line
dma
DMA channel
ops
pointer to the port driver's port operations structure
DESCRIPTION
When a parallel port (lowlevel) driver finds a port that should be made available to parallel port device drivers, it should call
parport_register_port. The base, irq, and dma parameters are for the convenience of port drivers, and for ports where they aren't
meaningful needn't be set to anything special. They can be altered afterwards by adjusting the relevant members of the parport structure
that is returned and represents the port. They should not be tampered with after calling parport_announce_port, however.
If there are parallel port device drivers in the system that have registered themselves using parport_register_driver, they are not told
about the port at this time; that is done by parport_announce_port.
The ops structure is allocated by the caller, and must not be deallocated before calling parport_remove_port.
If there is no memory to allocate a new parport structure, this function will return NULL.
