If you must, write a module for FreeBSD :-) > Also, if any of you knows a parallel device working on *BSD please tell > me that too. I want to know if I really have to port the linux module. Some of the other parport scanners are accessed without kernel modules, e.g. by using inb/outb. That should work with FreeBSD also. The Mustek Paragon 600 II N is not really a parallel port scanner but uses its own ISA card which is very similar to a parport card. As far as I know, it works on FreeBSD also. Bye, Henning
