Hi, Guys:
Here's the complete recipe. Works here after struggling for about ten
full working days
(and two weekends)
Thanks to Maurice and de Paul. Your help has been invaluable.
Just another proof that free software rules!
To-do: a bit experiment to do with more irq on the same board.
Just to be able to see more consoles at the same time.
================part console output to /dev/ttyS0=============
1.rm /etc/ioctl.save
(to erase the recorded term charasteristics. Could be
at a different speed than what you want)
2.joe /etc/inittab:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6
#S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty ttyS0
#S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty ttyS1
S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS0 DT9600 vt100
# The DT9600 is in /etc/gettydefs, and there
# are others. But the F9600 doesn't work
# too well. With the working Apple powerbook
# and ZTerm in from serial port to serial port,
# only gets echo out. Cannot get Apple keyboard
# input
3.init q
init Q
(well, not sure, so run both. This is to tell init to read the
updated inittab:P)
4.in /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/rd/c0d0
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
serial=0,9600n8
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=abyx_ttyS0
root=/dev/rd/c0d0p1
password=""
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img
append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600"
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15
label=linux_tty0
root=/dev/rd/c0d0p1
password=""
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img
append="console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0"
read-only
5.Run lilo.
6.Reboot.
voila. If communicating from another serial port, remember
to use null-modem cable. It's just a cross-over cable that
links rcpt to send, and send to rcpt and so on.
=======================start part 8-port byterunner=======
0. To make the orientation right, put the board on your desk,
with the RS xxx connector on the right hand side, and with jumper
side of the board facing you.
1. Make sure the clock multiplier (JP 10-21) are at x1.
That should be close for JP 12, 15, 18, 21. (JP 10 is at the
top of the column)
(my case they sent from the factory as x4. And according
to the printing on board, it looks like a x1, because ther's
a little 1 on the side of one of the x4 pins. That took me a
long time to figure out.)
2.jumper the board for irq 10 for all 8 ports. Allow the irq 10
on another set of jumpers on bottom-left. There are on-board
printed remarks for these two set of jumpers.
3.Set the blue S1 (switch) to UNIX mode 1(off, on, on, off. And
yes, this time the ON mark was printed on the correct side),
and the rest of the jumpers should be at default.
4.cd /dev
5.for in in 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23; do ./MAKEDEV ttyS$i; done
6.run:
setserial /dev/ttyS16 port 0x180 irq 10 uart 16550A ^fourport
setserial /dev/ttyS17 port 0x188 irq 10 uart 16550A ^fourport
setserial /dev/ttyS18 port 0x190 irq 10 uart 16550A ^fourport
setserial /dev/ttyS19 port 0x198 irq 10 uart 16550A ^fourport
setserial /dev/ttyS20 port 0x1a0 irq 10 uart 16550A ^fourport

setserial /dev/ttyS22 port 0x1b0 irq 10 uart 16550A ^fourport
setserial /dev/ttyS23 port 0x1b8 irq 10 uart 16550A ^fourport
setserial /dev/ttyS16 set_multiport port1 0x1c0 mask1 0xff match1 0xff
(er. joe up a /etc/rc.d/rc.serial file that has these and a #!/bin/bash
on the first row, and run it from rc.local. Note the mask1 shoud be the
same with match1, 0xff, while 4-port models would be 0xf. Also port1
is the interrupt vector address printed on the manual. Each UNIX mode
has its own. UNIX mode 0 has 0x140, mode 1 has 0x1c0, etc.)
7.And then shutdown. Plug-in card and make sure it's in the slot.
8.Boot computer. Reserve IRQ 10 for ISA in your BIOS.
9.Link the first com port on baord to ttyS0 (the console output
done as above)
10.minicom -s
(for /dev/ttyS16, at 9600, 8n1)
voila!

Subject: Add Compaq LJ700 printer and what quality
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 15:20:27 -0500
I have a question or two. I want to setup a linux box to serve a few
computers for home use. I want to know what would the quality of printing
be if I would let my Linux box server as a print server to a Compaq LJ700
Color Printer. Right now I have it shared off of my NT box.
I know I could just put some sort of box and have all the computers
connected with parallel cables, but I know that is overkill. I also have an
HP DeskJet 520 (black & white) and I know the quality is of no consiquence
since I use it only for printing B/W and text documents.
P.S. Could someone point me to someone or document that isn't so
technically inclined so I get this box up as a proxy server so my wife and I
can both use the internet at the same time.
About me: I know a lot of linux and know what I need to know along the
way. I have had much success in areas of dhcp, dns, web server, ftp
service, Window Manager configuration, kernal upgrades and such, but this is
a major step for me.
About my network: 2 laptops (1 is NT, 2nd is Win98) (mine)
1 Win98 (wife's)
1 NT Server/Linux (mine)
1 Linux (PPro 200 MMX, 128 RAM, 4 GB HD)
(mine also)
*All are connected with Network cards and cabled to a Hub running TCP/IP.
DO I HAVE A LOT OF PCs TO MYSELF OR WHAT?!?

Hi,
I am in need of a scanner and found an inexpensive one: Visioneed 6100B
Color Scanner. It is available at the local Office Depot for US$60
(after the rebate). The question is if this scanner will work under
Linux OS.
Can anyone please respond?

In the kernel-config, disable "probe SCSI-devices all LUNS". Then you won't
see the multiple-LUNS anymore.
Furthermore, make a few symlinks from your SCSI-emulated (!) cdrom player
/dev/scd0 or similar. Thus ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/scd0 or something. Then all
applications that use /dev/cdrom will should work again.

Change the permissions of the device with chmod +w /dev/scd0. And for the last
message: you didn't accidentally disable iso9660-filesystem support in the
kernel config? And is the disk an iso9660-disc (not an audio-disk or
something)?

I had the same problem with a Banshee card (3dfx). I am afraid there is
no hope for us with SVGATextMode. This is what the author says:
[QUOTE]
As of version 1.9, I (Koen gadeyne) will no longer continue development
or
support of the SVGATextMode package (perhaps barring important bug
fixes).
Unless someone takes over, this means SVGATextMode is, well... "dead".
Reasons for this decision are:
* reduced interest in SVGATextMode, as hardware is getting so fast and
memory so abundant that running Xwindows all of the time is no longer
a
problem. Older machines not comfortable with X are generally supported
by
STM.
* Linux 2.2 (and newer versions) contain kernel support for graphical
textmodes (vesafb). Although it uses a totally different approach than
STM, it can replace most of its functionality.
* it is getting more and more difficult to get suitable documentation
from
VGA chip makers, especially for a niche product as SVGATextMode. Even
the
XFree86 people are running into this obstacle every day. It is
impossible
to write an SVGATextMode driver without those docs.
* It is also extremely difficult to write a good driver for hardware I
don't
have. I obviously don't want to buy every new VGA card, and donations
are
extremely rare (I count ONE in the four years of STM's existence).
* most recent VGA cards are very louzy textmode performers. Actually all
the
ones I could check are bad. This is due to the use of synchronous
memories, as explained in the FAQ. This means an STM driver is less
and
less attractive compared to a graphical solution like the linux
VESAFB.
Modern VGA controllers are much more difficult to set up. More work
for
less results? Hmm...
* GGI, if it ever matures, will also be able to replace STM, and it will
actually be much less of a risk in terms of screwing up your text
console...
* ... and some less technical reasons :-)

Your problem might be the fact that manufacturers put 10 gigs as being
10 000 000 000 bytes, while the system sees 10 gigs as being
1024x1024x1024x10 bytes, which is 10 737 418 240. so if you only have
10 000 000 000 bytes on your hd, the system will see it as 9.6 gigs.

I had the same arrangement. I first loaded RedHat (without X Windows).
Redhat
is really not for the 386 machine although it worked SLOWLY. I reloaded
Slakware
(without X Windows) and things ran at a tolerable speed (it booted about 3
times faster
than the RedHat system). RedHat is very nice about taking care of you, but
that
translates to slower boot up and more daemons. Slakware is more bare-bones
and
you play more with setups when adding additional software (the rpms are nice
but
not foolproof).

How do you run the sb1kinst.sh?
Now you really hit the nail on the head. ONE of the first problems I had
was doing the isapnp (after the pnpdump). I do a cat /proc/interrupts and
/proc/ioports to see what is available. I then edit my isapnp.conf file and
no matter what I put for io ports I get fatal error. So I read change the
fatal to warning, however I still get errors. I can't even get the pc to
accept the boards ioports. I don't know if I have a compatibility problem
with my pc, it is an old 486 pci, dx100. This was a problem with 5.1 and
6.0. I wasn't sure if I had to compile the sb1000.o kernel(?!) first or if
it had anything to do with my problem. I seem to have every problem
imaginable.
By the way when I do the pnpdump, Everything has # in front. I guess that
is because I don't have any other isa cards. I finally put the card in my
windows 98 to make sure it worked. I had to change the io ports to 0x0110
and 0x0190. The same settings do not work on my linux box.... If I can't
get it to work on LINUX , I don't want it......

I have to admit that his binary post was only 2-3 screenfuls according
to my ascii based newsreader. hardly 'abuse' in any sense of the
term. and it was not a useless .gif that he posted - it was quite pertinent
to the discussion at hand.
and while its true that posting binaries is not considered 'ok' in a
non-binaries group, its actually the length of them that was the
original objection.
and all this flurry of net.cop-ism has caused more b/w to be wasted
than the original 'offense'. think about that for a bit.

Subject: Does Linux support the TR-4 Tape drive?
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 11:36:50 -0500
I'm using RedHat 6.0 -
I can't seem to get the TR-4 tape drive to be recognized.
Is there a driver out there for it?

Subject: AMD586-133MHz motherboard clock probs...
Date: Tue, 3 Aug 1999 09:39:14 -0700
Hi Dudes:
I have a great old "AMD586-133MHz PCI with 32meg of 72pin memory"
motherboard that has been running flawlessly for years - it is my
designated router for my hi-speed access. It runs apache, named, ftpd,
dhcpcd, masq, sendmail, telnetd, etc.
It has a crontab entry that runs netdate every 10 minutes. I have replaced
the little battery on the motherboard but it refuses to keep the date. I
have made sure the jumper is in the correct position.
My problem is that the system clock spontaneously changes the time and
date to "Feb 6 22:31:07" which remains until updated by netdate to the
correct time.
Anybody knows how I can fix thsi?
Best regards,
Brian

Hi,
Not to ask a stupid question, but is there a way to get a
(rh 6.0) linux server to automatically adjust between
Pacific Standard Time (PST) and Pacific Daylight Saving
Time (PDST)?
Many thanks,
--Tony
