Help text

If you own a Texas Instruments graphing calculator and use a parallel link cable, then you might be interested in this driver.

If you enable this driver, you will be able to communicate with your calculator through a set of device nodes under /dev. The main advantage of this driver is that you don't have to be root to use this precise link cable (depending on the permissions on the device nodes, though).

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called tipar.

If you don't know what a parallel link cable is or what a Texas Instruments graphing calculator is, then you probably don't need this driver.

If unsure, say N.
