28.Sh NAME
29.Nm cpi
30.Nd parallel printer driver for Creative Systems Inc. Hurdler CPI Nubus card
31.\"
32.Sh SYNOPSIS
33.Cd "cpi* at nubus?"
34.\"
35.Sh DESCRIPTION
36The
37.Nm
38interface provides access to parallel printer ports.
39.\"
40.Sh HARDWARE
41The

43interface supports the Creative Systems Inc. Hurdler CPI Nubus card,
44which is based on a Zilog Z8536 CIO.
45.\"
46.Pp
47The parallel port on the Hurdler CPI card is wired as follows:
48.Bl -column "/STROBE" "Page error" "SubD pin" "Z8536 pin" "Z8536 signal"

92.Sh CAVEATS
93The Hurdler CPI Nubus card does not use a TTL buffer to
94drive the parallel interface.
95Instead, the card's Z8536 CIO drives the printer port directly.
96Printers terminating the parallel interface with less
97than 2 kOhms may cause permanent damage to the Z8536 CIO.
