Update Re: Anyone Having Problems With CHD's RX01 Emulator and Ubuntu 11.10?

Well, no luck on removing the lp driver et cetera under Ubuntu, so I am going to try reverting my Linux distribution, or going to NetBSD for the emulator instead.

"lsmod" shows them loaded, I recall that I can "rmmod" them (or some similarly-named command). I am not a native Linux person, BSD is much to my preference! This was necessary for proper operation of a JTAG programmer that I was using to "unbrick" a dead router a few months ago. Ubuntu's (Debian's) "lp" drivers interfered with the utility's manipulation of the parallel port signals when talking to the router's JTAG port. I am hoping that this will be a similar situation. I'm going to try it when I get home from work. Kevin
