Nope, sorry... the dx/2 chips are different inside (have a PLL circuit
|
||||
to double their on-chip clock, and extra interface logic to hook up to
|
||||
the half-speed external bus), and of course you can't very well modify
|
||||
a silicon die after it's been made!
|
||||
|
||||
You may be able to overclock a little bit, though... possibly up to
|
||||
50MHz? That big of a jump is probably pushing it though. Be sure to
|
||||
adequately cool the cpu if you try it (heat sink w/conductive
|
||||
compound, fan blowing on it).

Take at look at your documentations and the sample scripts, supplied

with dip-3.3.7h-uri (RTFM ...)
|

|

The result codes, representing the various modem responses, have

changed. Change the error check after the dialling command to:
|

|
||||
"if $errlvl != 1 goto ... " (errlvl == 1: BUSY)

This tape drive is in fact a standard CMS 250. It works fine under Linux,

FreeBSD, OS/2, DOS/Win etc. However, its mechanical construction may be

I tried this in my XF86Config file. Die card ist probed correctly as

S3 864 with 20C486 RAMDAC. But the server can't set the clockchip.
|

|

What is the problem? Is it the right ClockChip statement? Has anyone

If you are trying to talk to SunOS machines you need to upgrade the Sun
|
||||
to use ntalkd or ytalk/ytalkd. SunOS 4.x shipped with a prehistoric talk
|
||||
server thats obsolete and won't speak to little endian machines (like a 386)

SCSI is the way to go. IDE doesn't do multi-tasking. SCSI host adapters
|
||||
(typically) have some kind of mailboxing or something that makes them
|
||||
much much much more suitable to a multi-tasking environment where multiple
|
||||
processes will be hitting the disk simultaneously. Swapping, for example,
|
||||
is much more transparent with SCSI...

|

Date: Fri, 7 Oct 1994 10:02:30 GMT
|

|
||||
Is Logitech MouseMan bus supported on IRQ9 in Linux.
|
||||
It didn't work for me. There is no hardware conflicts
|
||||
and mouse works fine on DOS and WFWG. I have kernel
|
||||
version 1.1.46. As workaround I put second mouse
|
||||
to my machine (Mousesystems serial on com2) and it
|
||||
worked ok.

Date: Fri, 7 Oct 1994 10:57:01 GMT
|

|

I have a VLB-IDE controller (Promise DC-2000), which
|
||||
is also WD1003 compatible. Hopefully, because othervise
|
||||
Linux wont work. Hovever it would be nice to have
|
||||
for exsample support for blockmode access (alias multiple
|
||||
mode). Now swapping is damned slow compared to
|
||||
WFWG. Another nice thingie would be use of that 32-bit
|
||||
VLB. Under Linux transfer rates are around 1 MB/s versus
|
||||
2.5 to 3.5 MB/s in DOS+WFWG.
|
||||
|
||||
One usable sollution would be disk access thru BIOS.
|
||||
This is not the best way, but it is generic and should
|
||||
work on various configurations. Best way is ofcourse
|
||||
true driver in kernel, but I am afraid this is not
|
||||
possible due lack of information. Anyway BIOS access
|
||||
is normaly faster in VLB-IDE use (when the BIOS supports
|
||||
it)

FWIW, I got fresh aumix sources from sunsite, followed Pat's advice,

Thanks for your help.

Getting back to my post, why would you want to? You don't "save" the life of a HD
|
||||
by shutting the motor off. In fact, HD are meant to by powered all the time, with
|
||||
the lifecyle degrading if the motor is pulsed in this manner.
|
||||
|
||||
I find it absolutley funny that people believe otherwise. Go work in the HD business
|
||||
for a few years; talk to the engineers who build the things and read the QA reviews.
|
||||
Hell, write a few QA reviews and you'll find out otherwise.

Subject: SCSI support
|

Date: 6 Oct 94 17:30:23 GMT
|
||||
|
||||
I have a pentium with a scsi hard drive running from a
|
||||
PCI scsi controller model NCR53c810.
|
||||
|
||||
I seem to have no problems using the install disks (NCR bootdisk)
|
||||
and my kernal supports the drive just great, but I cant boot
|
||||
linux. It stops after LI and hangs. The little LILO manual
|
||||
said that this is common when it doesnt understand the geometry of
|
||||
the drive.
|
||||
|
||||
I added a /etc/disktab file with the correct geometry in it but still
|
||||
no luck. I even put a line in LILO like
|
||||
disktab = /etc/disktab so it knows where to find the info.
|
||||
|
||||
I even try reinstalling the OS with out lilo present, but the same thing
|
||||
happened. My guess is that what ever is bootstrapping the kernal
|
||||
doesnt support my drive/card.
|
||||
|
||||
can I get around this?
