Well, it would pretty much appear that my suspicion is correct. The PP input stuff NEVER worked under Limey Linux, and its pretty obvious why. I will update the chan_usbradio and chan_simpleusb code to reflect this. JIM WB6NIL

Hey guys, I really need some help with ppin. Works finew with ACID, ppx-ptt works fine, under both distros, pp in for cor just will not work in Limey, and I have no more hair to pull out. Does pp work as an input under Limey, and docs I find doesn't say it does not work, but I gave up hope and just deployed the system with a hard drive, which isn't the way I needed to go.
Is it possible to use as an input?
I have it loading parport and parport_pc, thies EPP and ECP in the bios, and every combination of setups. I know I have it configured right, same config worked just fine in ACID
The only thing that could make Limey even more perfect is RTL8187 wireless support and parallel port input for COS.

Yes, I'm using them as BCD outputs to steer a "memory-agile" GE Delta-S remote base radio under Limey. You'll probably recall you and I going back and forth on some bug fixes a while back to get it working. The biggest problems were related to ioperm permissions; I think I fixed the last of the bugs myself.

Has anyone ever successfully used the PPIO (*not* GPIO) extensions of chan_usbradio and/or chan_simpleusb under Limey Linux??
I think I have run into one of those famous old "how in the world did this EVER work" sorta things. I dont think it did.
If anyone has, please let me know.
