Driver Command Line Options:
----------------------------

/U          : Forces Uni-Directional mode. (Applicable only for non
              Uni-directional ports.
/V          : Enables verbose mode 
/W          : Disables burst mode data transfer for 90C24 and 90C26 pelican 
              chips. This does not apply for Enhanced Parallel Ports.
/SF=1..30   : Introduces a delay factor of 30 (Can take a value from 1 to 30 
              with 30 as the slowest mode of operation).
/E          : Disables fast EPP. This applies only for Enhanced Parallel Ports.

These options can be added to the following driver line entry in CONFIG.SYS, 
      basedev=cd8.add /v
For example you can induce a slow factor of five by adding /SF=5 as follows
      basedev=cd8.add /v /SF=5
