[sane-devel] Where can I find ppscsi driver?

[Till Kamppeter]

For me it seems that ppSCSI is not in the official kernel, as I cannot 
find it in the kernel sources of the 2.4.19 of Mandrake 9.0. On the web 
site http://www.torque.net/parport/ppscsi.html are no patches for 
kernels newer than 2.3.x. Where can I find a patch for the current 
kernels so that one could integrate it in Mandrake Linux?
