ECP port driver

[Robert Creager <robert@carolinecreager.com>]

Hey Chris,

I also am working on a loadable device driver,
developing with the 2.4 kernel.  I have a decent
skeleton, and am starting on the meat of the code.  I
hope to have a simple reader this week, and then move
on to using DMA.  Rather than duplicate efforts...  I
have no particular preference (as to writing this or
not), as I've other TASS code to write.  Thoughts?

Later,
Rob
