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)

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

this card running with XFree 3.1?

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...

|

|

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,

and I have working color versions of the slackware utils and aumix.

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.

|
||
|
||
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?
