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

A short update on this problem: Further info, I am going to try to unload the kernel's "lp" and "parport" drivers to see if they are interfering with the emulator's access to the parallel port. "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.

Message-ID: <F312C8E2-D262-48F8-B452-6576C4AAE4EE at me.com> Content-Type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Hi All: Since my upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10, the excellent RX01 emulator from Charles Dickman that i have been using on my pdp-11 11/34 has stopped working. This interfaces to a PC using the PC's parallel port. I gather from the rather confusing mass of Ubuntu support information that several parallel port printers stopped working and failed to be recognized after an upgrade to 11.10. I have checked some of the fixes quoted but they don't apply to my installation. Anyone else have this problem? I can downgrade my Ubuntu to an earlier version, but if there's someone else who has solved this problem, I therefore thought I'd ask on the list first! Thanks in advance for any info, Kevin Sent from my iPad
