278 want to use them on one parallel port together with NES/SNES/PSX pads. This is
283 once, you need the sticks to be purely switch based (that is non-TTL), and

522 Should you want to use more than one of parallel ports at once, you can use
524 more parallel ports.

543 Caveat here: This driver only works on bidirectional parallel ports. If
544 your parallel port is recent enough, you should have no trouble with this.
545 Old parallel ports may not have this feature.
