Is Linux PLIP compatible with Crynwr?

Post by Andres Arave » Sat, 03 Jun 1995 04:00:00



Hi

I have two machines conected by PLIP. They have worked fine by a few
months. Now I want to connect one of these under DOS. I've got
the Crynwr PLIP packet driver, given that the kernel souce code says
it's compatible. Unluckly it doesn't work.

Is it really compatible, or I misunderstood the coment in the kernel?

had someone tried something similar before?

The PLIP packet driver, version 11.0, in the 11.x release has a bug
for some vendors parallel ports.  It doesn't mask out enough bits.
I've uploaded a fixed version, 11.1 to
ftp://ftp.crynwr.com/pub/crynwr/plip111.zip

1. Linux PLIP and Crynwr PLIP?

I can connect two PC's running Linux Version 1.2.9 using Linux's
PLIP. I can't however connect a Linux box with a DOS box running
the Crynwr packetdriver plip.com version 11.0, though the comments
in Linux's plip.c claim that it should work.

What I noticed is that the wiring diagrams for Crynwr's plip.com
and for Linux's plip differ: the Linux documentation explicitly
states not to use pins 1, 14 and 16, whereas the Crynwr documentation
requires to connect 1 - 1, 14 - 14 and 16 -16.

Any hint is highly appreciated.
