@Spiro Many thanks so far, will use 4x1N5819 -->Please by careful with the diodes for the XM1541 cable, use only recommended ones could be something wrong with my deb setup, as /sbin is not searched $ /sbin/modprobe cbm modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'cbm': Operation not permitted $ id ....100(users),... $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/45-opencbm-xa1541.rules ACTION!="add", GOTO="opencbm_plugin_xa1541_rules_end" # xa1541/xm1541 parallel port driver KERNEL=="cbm", GROUP="users", MODE="0664" LABEL="opencbm_plugin_xa1541_rules_end"...
by running /sbin/depmod manually we got entries in 4.19.0-8-686-pae$ grep cbm modules.alias alias char-major-10-177 cbm alias opencbm cbm and 4.19.0-8-686-pae$ grep cbm modules.dep kernel/drivers/char/cbm.ko: kernel/drivers/parport/parport.ko
$ find /lib/ -iname cbm.ko /lib/modules/4.19.0-8-686-pae/kernel/drivers/char/cbm.ko /sbin/depmod on the system, so are incmod, modrobe depmod was not run during install as it needs be given /sbin path explicitly as system binary probably ... see above modprobe looks inside /lib/modules/4.19.0-8-686-pae/ by default
