Help text

EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) is a standard for parallel ports which allows them to act as expansion buses that can handle up to 64 peripheral devices.

Some parallel port chipsets are slower than their motherboard, and so we have to control the state of the chipset's FIFO queue every now and then to avoid data loss. This will be done if you say Y here.

Generally, saying Y is the safe option and slows things down a bit.
