You don't need assembler then.
You can look at your dmesg to count all ppc parallel ports: [snip] ppc0: <Parallel port> port 0x378-0x37f,0x778-0x77f irq 7 drq 3 on acpi0 ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/9 bytes threshold ppc0: [ITHREAD] ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0 plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0 plip0: [ITHREAD] lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0 lpt0: [ITHREAD] lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0 [snip] Alexey. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
