It looks like SysV still has conf.c; you're looking for 'cdevsw'.

Do you see a line in 'cdevsw' for the lpt? (I can't see one.)


While we're talking about SysV, maybe it's time to add the VAX version (and
maybe the 3B2 one too) to the Unix Tree at TUHS, to make it easy to look at? I
know there was at one point a good reson to be hesitant aout so doing, but the
VAX version is now obsolete, and it is available through archive.org:

    https://archive.org/details/ATTUNIXSystemVRelease4Version2

just not in an easy to peruse form.

When was the last VAX sold? Maybe the VAX version people would be willing to
let go of.
