Tim,
Please consider the included patch to fix a 1-bit bug in the software
emulation of parport epp addr read mode.
I am not subscribed to the LKML.
Thanks

Background:
We bought cheep notebooks to control our custom data acquisition
system, which requires EPP mode (read/write, data/addr). The bios
does not offer EPP mode, and indeed hardware EPP mode appears not to
work, although the parport driver tries to use it. EPPSWE mode does
work for data r/w and addr write, but addr read requires this
patch.
