I have an Iomega Z100P2 zip drive, but it does not work with my StarTech PEX1P2 AX99100 PCIe parallel port, which evidently does not support 16-bit or 32-bit EPP. Currently the only way to tell the PPA driver to use 8-bit EPP is to write 'mode=3' to /proc/scsi/ppa/*, but the driver doesn't actually distinguish between the three EPP modes and still tries to use 16-bit or 32-bit EPP. And even if writing to that file did make the driver use 8-bit EPP, it still wouldn't do me any good because by the time that file exists, the drive has already failed to initialize. Add a new parameter /sys/module/ppa/mode to set the transfer mode before initializing the drive. This parameter replaces the use of CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_EPP16 in the PPA driver. At the same time, default to 8-bit EPP. 16-bit and 32-bit EPP are not necessary for the drive to function, nor are they part of the IEEE 1284 standard, so the driver should not assume that they are available.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
