+Parallel port ATAPI tapes
+CONFIG_PARIDE_PT
+  This option enable the high-level driver for ATAPI tape devices
+  connected through a parallel port.  If you chose to build PARIDE
+  support into your kernel, you may answer Y here to build in the
+  parallel port ATAPI disk driver, otherwise you should answer M
+  to build it as a loadable module.  The module will be called pt.o.
+  You must also have at least one parallel port protocol driver in
+  your system.  Among the devices supported by this driver is the
+  parallel port version of the HP 5GB drive.

   Say Y here if you need support for the parallel port hardware on Sun
   Ultra/AX machines.  This code is also available as a module (say M),
   called parport_ax.o.  If in doubt, saying N is the safe plan.

+Foreign parallel hardware
+CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER
+  Say Y here if you want to be able to load driver modules to support
+  other types of parallel port.  This causes a performance loss, so most
