according to various remarks, I improved the source code.
I submit it again for new comments & suggestions...
> Basically except for the open/close one I'm now just picking holes.
> For the device major/minors see http://www.lanana.org.
I mailed lanana on Thursday but no answer yet.

+ * If this driver is built into the kernel, you can configure it using
the
+ * kernel command-line. For example:
+ *
+ * tipar=timeout,delay (set timeout and delay)
+ *
+ * If the driver is loaded as a module, similar functionality is
available

be:

+CONFIG_TI_PAR
+ 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).
+
+ This code is also available as a module ( = code which can be
+ inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
+ The module will be called tipar.o. If you want to compile it as a
+ module, say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt.
+
+ 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.
