I'm impressed. I expected you to brush up the sanei_pio API to match
your needs, not make a completely new and generic chipset API. :-)

Is this chipset API enough for the backend to only implement the
high-level functionallity, and not require any hw access?

After reading thru the source, it seems like a few of the functions
might be used to improve the pio API. It must be possible to make a
parport API that works on all platforms. Are the _epp functions
implementing the 'enhanced parport' mode? I've been reading about the
the Linux parport kernel API, and noticed support for epp, ecp and
nibble mode in this API. Would a sanei parport API with support for
such modes make it easier to support parport scanners?
Happy hacking,
