Owing to the simplicity and near universality of the parallel port interface to personal computers, many external devices such as portable hard-disk, CD-ROM, LS-120 and tape drives use the parallel port to connect to their host computer. While some devices (notably scanners) use ad-hoc methods to pass commands and data through the parallel port interface, most external devices are actually identical to an internal model, but with a parallel-port adapter chip added in. Some of the original parallel port adapters were little more than mechanisms for mulitplexing a SCSI bus. (The Iomega PPA-3 adapter used in the ZIP drives is an example of this approach). Most current designs, however, take a different approach. The adapter chip reproduces a small ISA or IDE bus in the external device and the communication protocol provides operations for reading and writing device registers, as well as data block transfer functions. Sometimes, the device being addressed via the parallel cable is a standard SCSI controller like an NCR 5380. The ditto family of external tape drives use the ISA replicator to interface a floppy disk controller, which is then connected to a floppy-tape mechanism. The vast majority of external parallel port devices, however, are now based on standard IDE type devices, which require no intermediate controller. If one were to open up a parallel port CD-ROM drive, for instance, one would find a standard ATAPI CD-ROM drive, a power supply, and a single adapter that interconnected a standard PC parallel port cable and a standard IDE cable. It is usually possible to exchange the CD-ROM device with any other device using the IDE interface.
The document describes the support in Linux for parallel port IDE devices. It does not cover parallel port SCSI devices, ditto tape drives or scanners. Many different devices are supported by the parallel port IDE subsystem, including:
- MicroSolutions backpack CD-ROM
- MicroSolutions backpack PD/CD
- MicroSolutions backpack hard-drives
- SyQuest EZ-135, EZ-230 & SparQ drives
- Castlewood ORB drive
- Avatar Shark
- Imation Superdisk LS-120
- FreeCom Power CD
- FreeCom Traveller CD
- Maxell SuperDisk LS-120
- Hewlett-Packard 5GB tape drive
- Hewlett-Packard 7100 and 7200 CD-RW drives
as well as most of the clone and no-name products on the market.
In computing, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton. A driver provides a software interface to hardware devices, enabling operating systems and other computer programs to access hardware functions without needing to know precise details about the hardware being used. The desktop B004-DP2UA2-K 2-Port DisplayPort KVM Switch lets you access, control, boot and reboot two 4K DisplayPort computers using one DisplayPort monitor, keyboard and mouse. Switching between computers is quick and simple using a connected remote port selector, keyboard hotkeys or mouse scroll wheel.

To support such a wide range of devices PARIDE, the parallel port IDE subsystem, is actually structured in three parts. There is a base paride module which provides a registry and some common methods for accessing the parallel ports. The second component is a set of high-level drivers for each of the different type of supported device:

| pd | IDE disk |
| pcd | ATAPI CD-ROM |
| pf | ATAPI disk |
| pt | ATAPI tape |
| pg | ATAPI generic devices |
The pg driver exists mainly to support parallel port ATAPI CD-R and CD-RW devices. See the Parallel Port ATAPI CD-R Information Page for more information.
The high-level drivers function according to the relevant standards. The third component of PARIDE is a set of low-level protocol drivers for each of the parallel port IDE adapter chips. Thanks to the interest and encouragement of Linux users from many parts of the world, support is available for almost all known adapter protocols:
