/dev/ports is the Linux way to access the parallel port directly.
Another way is to use inb/outb but I think that will workn on the x86
platform only. sanei_ab306.c tries both ways and on first sight,
sanei_pio does, too.

I guess the most portable way is to use libieee1284, if available. See
sanei_pa4s2 for an example.
