|
||
|
||
6 September 1994
|
||
|
||
Dan Technology plc (London, UK) build their ``dantium/PCi'' Pentium 90MHz
|
||
IDE systems using the "TMC" PCI54PV (Version 1.2A) Motherboard.
|
||
This PCI motherboard does not have an on-board IDE or SCSI controller.
|
||
According to the sample user manual given by Dan, ``the performance, speed
|
||
and expandability of the PCI54PV makes it the perfect choice for building
|
||
a LAN server, a high-end workstation or a multi-user system.''
|
||
|
||
I have read the Linux PCI-HOWTO guide, *BUT* I am still very concerned about
|
||
the lack of definite information on which PCI/(VLB/)ISA motherboards are
|
||
suitable for building a *working* Linux box with a *future*, i.e., not
|
||
``buggy'', ``broken'' or ``dead-end''. In particular, the compatibility of
|
||
current and future PCI cards on existing PCI architectures.
|
||
|
||
Therefore, I would be most grateful if you would assist me in anyway. I
|
||
would appreciate any advice or comments regarding the "TMC" PCI54PV (OPTi
|
||
82C596/82C597/82C822 chipset), *or* recommendations for other
|
||
motherboards. I have included a summary, specification and a detailed
|
||
hardware description of the PCI54PV motherboard below this request.
|
||
|
||
At present, for combined Linux/MS-DOS/MS-Windows usage, Dan can supply a:
|
||
|
||
* VLB SPEA V7 MIRAGE S3 805 2MB to drive their
|
||
17" CD-1764TR XGA Colour Monitor
|
||
(0.26mm trio pitch, Autoscan, Low-Emission, High-Resolution,
|
||
Sony TRINITRON Tube, Microprocessor Control)
|
||
|
||
* VLB IDE hard disk and floppy disk controller (J-Bond chipset) to
|
||
drive a 525 MB IDE hard disk, 1.44 Mb floppy (3.5") and
|
||
an IOMEGA QIC-40/80 ``250MB'' floppy tape streamer (DC2120 tape
|
||
type).
|
||
|
||
I would also appreciate any advice or comments regarding the:
|
||
|
||
* VLB SPEA V7 MIRAGE S3 805 2MB and the 17" CD-1764TR XGA Colour
|
||
Monitor under XFree86-2.11 (X11r5) and/or XFree86-3.0 (X11r6).
|
||
I've appended the specs on the CD-1764TR monitor.
|
||
|
||
* IOMEGA QIC-40/80 ``250MB'' floppy tape streamer (DC2120 tape type)
|
||
via the Linux Ftape.
|
||
|
||
Please, e-mail me directly (mm902p@uk.ac.cranfield). I'll forward the
|
||
collected replies to the maintainers of the PCI-HOWTO and Hardware-HOWTO,
|
||
and post a summary to the newsgroup.
|
||
|
||
Thank you.

||
3.1 PCI54PV System Board
|
||
========================
|
||
``The PCI54PV is designed by implementing a PC54C/CT microprocessor and
|
||
a highly integrated chipset.''
|
||
|
||
The OPTi chipset is comprised of 3 chips:
|
||
|
||
* 82C597 System Controller (SYSC) - The SYSC provides the control
|
||
functions for the host CPU interface, the 32 bit local bus interface, the
|
||
64-bit secondary cache memory and 64-bit DRAM bus. The SYSC controls the
|
||
data flow between the CPU bus, the DRAM bus, the local bus, and the
|
||
16/8-by ISA bus.
|
||
|
||
* 82C596 AT Controller (ATC) - The ATC integrates the AT bus
|
||
interface and the data buffers for transfers between the CPU data bus,
|
||
local data bus and the DRAM data bus. It also provides ISA to local bus
|
||
command translation.
|
||
|
||
* 82C822 VESA bus to PCI bridge (PCIB) - The PCIB provides all of
|
||
the control, Address and Data paths to implement the PCI bus from a VESA
|
||
VL-bus.
|
||
|
||
The 82C206 Integrated Peripherals Controller (IPC) incorporates the DMA
|
||
controller, Interrupt Controller, Systems Timer, and Clock/Calendar
|
||
functions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
3.2 P54C/CT Microprocessor
|
||
==========================
|
||
The P54C/CT processor is binary compatible with both the 486DX and 386DX.
|
||
The application instruction set of the P54C/CT processor includes the
|
||
complete 486 CPU instruction set with extensions to accomodate some of the
|
||
additional functionality of the P54C/CT processor. All application
|
||
software written for the 386 and 486 microprocessors will run on the
|
||
P54C/CT without modification.
|
||
|
||
The P54C/CT implements several enhancements to increase performance.
|
||
* Increased the data bus to 64-bits and contains separate code and
|
||
data cache of 8Kb each with a cache line size of 32-bytes.
|
||
* Contains a pipelined floating point unit that provides a
|
||
significant floating point performance advantage over previous generations
|
||
of the P54C/CT processor.
|
||
|
||
The PCI54PV is designed to accommodate a 75MHz, 90MHz or 100MHz P54C/CT
|
||
processor. The P54C/CT processor, once installed, will be driven by an
|
||
oscillator installed in ``OSC2'' by 3:2 frequency ratio. Therefore, for
|
||
90MHz P54C/CT processor a 60MHz oscillator must be installed in ``OSC2''
|
||
and a 66Mhz oscillator must be installed for a 100MHz Pentium.
|
||
|
||
3.3 Cache Memory
|
||
================
|
||
The P54C/CT processor includes separate code and data caches integrated on
|
||
chip to provide high performace. Each cache is 8Kb in size, with 32-byte
|
||
line size and is 2-way set associative. The data cache is configurable to
|
||
be write-back or write-through on a line by line basis.
|
||
|
||
For the secondary cache, the PCI54PV supports write-back cache memory
|
||
sizes of 256 or 512 Kbytes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
3.4 Main Memory
|
||
===============
|
||
The PCI54PV has 2 memory banks for up to 128Mbytes of main memory. Each
|
||
memory bank of the PCI54PV consists of two 36-bit SIMM (Single In-Line
|
||
Memory Module) sockets that can accept 256K*36, 1M*36 or 4M*36 modules.
|
||
|
||
The SIMM sockets can also accommodate dual density modules such as
|
||
512K*36, 2M*36, or 8M*36 SIMMS.
|
||
|
||
|
||
3.5 BIOS
|
||
========
|
||
The PCI54PV contains a 128K*8 Flash ROM that contains the system BIOS.
|
||
The BIOS resides at the upper 64Kb of addresss in the first megabyte.
|
||
|
||
In protected mode, the BIOS is also mapped to the upper 64Kb of the 128Mb
|
||
space and can be accessed at either location.
|
||
|
||
The BIOS on the PCI54PV is compatible with the BIOS in the IBM AT with the
|
||
exception that it does not contain the BASIC interpreter. The BASIC and
|
||
BASICA on IBM PC-DOS will not run on the PCI54PV. To run BASIC in systems
|
||
based on the PCI54PV, the should use the GW-BASIC interpreter provided
|
||
with the Microsoft DOS diskette.
|
||
|
||
|
||
3.6 I/O Port Address Map
|
||
========================
|
||
The CPU of the PCI54PV communicates via I/O ports. There are a total of 1K
|
||
port address space defined. The following tables list the I/O port
|
||
addresses used in the PCI54PV and those assigned to other devices that can
|
||
be used by the add-on cards.

Hmm.. I don't know about that.. will a PC boot without a video card? I
|
||
wouldn't have thought so (haven't tried it though).

Is there any full Ada(tm) compilers for Linux ? Some Ada subset compiler

|
||
|
||
Perhaps I'm missing something important, but has anyone compiled any of
|
||
the major applications (Mosaic, ncftp...) for term 2.x (specifically
|
||
2.0.4). If I try to run an app compiled for earlier term versions I get
|
||
the error "Connect: Invalid Argument".
|
||
|
||
If nobody's done it yet, I might set aside some time to do it.

Any info at all would be greatly appreaceated.

I have been looking around for a bootdisk to set up Linux on a System with
|
||
an Adaptec AHA 2842 SCSI-Adapter.
|
||
|
||
Recently Ive been told that one (still at the "interim-stage"?) is
|
||
available at:
|
||
|
||
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/linux/kernel/images/boot284x.tar.gz
|
||
|
||
Did anyone succeed to set up Linux with this bootdisk yet?
|
||
|
||
Any information is appreciated.
|

|

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty laid-back about the threat of Unix viruses.
|
||
|
||
When I see a wild one, I'll panic, and maybe do something.
|
||
So far, no "wild" U*x virus has been seen (as far as I know)
|
||
|
||
("Tame" viruses on Linux don't count - ANY competent programmer can write
|
||
a virus in a matter of weeks; true genius could probably do it in a night)
|
||
|
||
Note: The standard defenses against trojan attacks (tripwire and friends)
|
||
would also detect a lot of virus attacks. So I regard the possibility that
|
||
there is a wild U*x virus out there, still undiscovered, as infinitesmal.
