Bypassing umass1
I have the devices on umass Umass0: a floppy drive Umass1: Sony Memory Stick Umass2: USB keychain storage On boot everything works fine but umass1, the memory stick generates CBI errors. Is there any way I can get the kernel to forget about umass 1 and just do umass[0,2] I tried the BIOS to disable the memory stick but no luck..

USB Keychain storage
I have a USB keychain storage device(on umass2) I frequently use. I can mount/use it within freebsd. But when im done I want to be able to just unplug it and go, except the little green light on the device is still on, how do I turn this off?

RE: Port Replicator
You seem like you know what your talking, all im trying to do with the serial port is use my external modem, my internal is a dumb winmodem thus I cant use it. From what I understand I have 4 solutions to my modem problems 1. Buy a port replicator 2. Buy a USB Modem 3. Buy a PCMCIA modem 4. Buy a USB-RS232 adapter As far as my research goes a USB modem or PCMCIA modem seems best. I was looking at /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and it had a decent list of USB modems(I amuse they all work within FreeBSD). I could do this. Or get a PCMCIA modem(pccard if im not mistaken). I don't have a lot of money so I buy something it NEEDS to work. So my question is; What solution seems sense to you people and why. And if you've experienced my problem, what did you choose, and be sure to include make and model so I can go out and get the same :) -Original Message- From: Bruce M Simpson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 4:04 AM To: Vladimir B.

For me SIO chip actually located on Notebook motherboard and detected not depending on plugging port replicator. If I really want to use COM-port I need connect port replicator with db9 connector. This sounds very similar to how my Z600 works (which works without a hitch, the sio chip is integrated into the notebook's chipset). I would imagine the FX series are similar. If you have a free PCMCIA slot, though, there is always the alternative of a sio card, which are available very inexpensively these days. I would recommend this over the use of a USB-RS232 adapter, because the ASICs used by these products vary widely and may not have driver support.

Port Replicator
I have a Sony VAIO GRX570. As it stands there is no serial port on it. Sony offers a port replicator(docking station), thus giving me a serial port. Now, there expensive, $200US, im thinking of getting one but I need to nknow a few things. Should I expect any problems or will /dev/cuaa[0-1] work right off the bat.

RE: Laptop sound
Ok Sony left this out of my BIOS.

I have a Vaio Z600 which uses the 440BX chipset, so YMMV, but what worked for me was to turn off the 'Plug and Play OS' option in the BIOS. This means the BIOS explicitly initializes non-boot devices, in this case, the AC97 codec on board (not just the AC97 controller). This tends to happen with ACPI capable laptops. ICH3 is an ACPI capable chipset. Give it a try. If you're unlucky the BIOS might not have this option still, but Sony tend to leave it in the PhoenixBIOS they use.
