This option enables the high-level driver for ATAPI CD-ROM devices
connected through a parallel port. If you chose to build PARIDE
support into your kernel, you may answer Y here to build in the
parallel port ATAPI CD-ROM driver, otherwise you should answer M to
build it as a loadable module. The module will be called pcd. You
must also have at least one parallel port protocol driver in your
system. Among the devices supported by this driver are the
MicroSolutions backpack CD-ROM drives and the Freecom Power CD. If
you have such a CD-ROM drive, you should also say Y or M to "ISO
9660 CD-ROM file system support" below, because that's the file
system used on CD-ROMs.
