Re: [Leaf-devel] ADM Write Protect

2002-02-18 Thread Mike Noyes

Manfred,
I have a meeting this week with SST distributor Symmetry Electronics. They 
are providing me with a 8MB unit, so my father can try to create a 
jumper/switch that enables/disables WP.

The people at SST have indicated that WP is possible. It looks like the 
Apacer representative below is saying the same thing. A hardware change is 
needed. Specifically, creation of a jumper that connects pin 62 of the 
LD017 controller chip to ground is needed to use WP.

Does your Apacer ADM have an LD017 controller chip on it?

Dear customer,
I am very sorry for that not providing prompt response due to a long
vacation (Chinese New Year) from 2/9 ~ 2/17. And the answer is Yes. Our
ATA Diak Module have at this time no possibility for write protection.
The write protection function need to change the hardware designing.

If you have any problem, please contact us, we will be glad to help you.
Best regards,
Apacer Service Engineer

RE: [Leaf-devel] SF Mirror

2002-02-18 Thread Mike Sensney

Ibiblio might be a good mirror for LEAF. They just added another terabyte
of storage online, they have a lot of bandwidth, they are Linux friendly,
and they are willing to host .org web sites.
http://www.ibiblio.org/about.html

BTW, both leaf-project.org and leaf-central.org are currently available.
Wouldn't it be neat if LEAF's home page was something like
http://www.leaf-central.org?

Well, I'm off to Seattle again. I'm getting tired of road trips.

If folks think getting a name would be a good idea, I'm willing to pay
for it.

Re: [Leaf-devel] ADM Write Protect

2002-02-18 Thread Manfred Schuler

Mike,

I don't own an Apacer ADM. 
I want to buy a Flash-Disk with write protection.

At the moment I'm checking out a M-sys DOC-module on an M-Sys PCI
evaluation  board.

I'll send you information about it ASAP.

Manfred

 David,
 Exactly. Then I thought we could take this output, and use
 it to check  new packages for release/branch
 compatibility. The output could be placed in a text file,
 and parsed by another script that is designed to test
 packages. This new script wouldn't run from a LEAF
 environment. Instead, it would use a development
 environment.
 
 A release/branch lead developer runs the environment test
 script on his/her release/branch. He then places the
 output files on our site. A package developer downloads
 the environment test script output files to a machine with
 the package test script. The package developer then tests
 his/her new package.

Well, that's not quite what I had in mind.  For me, I was thinking
more along the lines of:

A distribution developer perhaps runs a script, writes some shell
code, etc. - and creates a package (or shell script, really) which
tests for various things.  The script (or scripts) would work within
the LEAF environment...

Then a package creator (or software developer) would run a compilation
of these scripts (which would have some overlap... and which overlap
would be removed...) and it would tell him if his code was compatible
with the environment or not.  These scripts would be available to run
in the LEAF environment, or any environment...

 $ lrp_pkg_tst.pl foo.lrp
 Testing foo.lrp ...
 file structure: OK
 program name: foo
 program version: 1.00
 libc version: 2.1.3
 Checking compatibility with Oxygen...
Parsing 1.9 output: yes
Parsing 1.8 output: yes
Parsing Dec.2000 output: no
 Checking compatibility with Dachstein...
Parsing 1.0.2 1680: no
Parsing 1.0.2 CD: no

I was thinking more like:

# lrp_pkg_tst.sh requirements.txt
Testing for test -z option... yes
Testing for test -n option... yes
Testing for NFS mount... no
Testing for root.lrp... no
Testing for 1.68M disk... no
Testing for vfat support... no
Testing for iso9660 support... no
Testing for ide support... no
[...etc...]

Summary:
Oxygen support: Ok
Dachstein support: Ok
Bering support: No
