Do you have a SCSI BIOS menu on your PC?
This should at least tell you if the PC itself recognizes it.
(if not, you might have termination issues, or SCSI ID conflicts)
Also, the OS might complain if you don't have a cartridge insert on
boot-up.
I have the same setup (RH 6.2 / Jaz 1-gig external SCSI) and everything

Please read the HOWTO . I found it very helpful.

Hi,
in answer to the first question no linux can't damage a pc. I would
look at memory first. Many non starting errors are found there.
Phil
I'd be opening up the pc, taking anti-static precautions, and unplug and
plug everything (including memory). Look if the CMOS battery has
spilled its guts over the motherboard. Check fans. Vacuum dust out.

According to this list seems to be no support for hardware raid with the

Is this correct ???
No, because there is no hardware raid on the above controllers. It's all

removable module for the CD-RW, since it would save having to find a plug and

Thanks. Its good to know those cards are in use elsewhere :)
I'll look into the case idea.
You can get an external case for less than that price. Well, I got mine through
e-bay for about US$35 (include shipping).
However, I can't use it to listen to music (no audio output in the case). Second, I
don't know how to setup the jumper so that I can change the SCSI ID without open it
up... Thanks god that I don't need to change my SCSI device ID and I do not use
CD-RW to play music at all.
If you want to buy an external case for your internal SCSI CD-RW, make sure it can
satisfy your need,
Good luck.

Hi all,
I wake up to a horrific reality that some computer manufacturers may be

We must wake up and get together to fight this war.
I bought a Compaq Presario 5834 two weeks ago. I bought this computer
with Linux in mind. But after days of trying and calling support service
reps, I'm left stranded with a computer not at all of any use to me. At
this moment, I don't know how widespread this phenomenon is. But I urge
everybody who loves these free OS and free softeware in general do a bit
investigation to monitor this computer industry's new move.
I suspect that this kind of restriction of Linux and other free OSes are
implemented through BIOS and/or Hardware, therefore it could defeat the
Free Software Movement if we don't get together to fight it. Or are we
ready to devise FREE BIOS and FREE OS COMPATIBLE HARDWARE???
This may be an over reaction. But it does pose the threatening
potential.
Another conspiracy theorist I see...
Considering Compaq's statements about Linux I find it hard to believe that they
deliberately tries to make life more difficult for non MS users. However they do
stuff their PC with custom hardware for witch you often need the standard
Compaq drivers for, but that is mostly a problem with their portable PC's. Not

Subject: Parallel port zip drive problems...
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 1999 13:04:17 -0700
I'm running redhat 5.2 and have a parallel port zip 100 drive that I
can't quite get to work...
When installing redhat, there is an option in the scsi adaptors setup
section to install the ppa driver, so I tried that, and by probing, it
failed to find the device. I tried specifying parameters, like the
address and whatnot, and it still did not work, it hangs the computer
looking for the drive (I entered the resources for my parallel port as
they are shown in Windows, the parameters I added were "ppa=0x378,7" I'm
not sure if that is correct, but I had to do the same for my scsi
adaptor, and that worked ok.)
I installed redhat without the ppa module, and tried installing one of
the newer kernels (2.2.9), and I noticed that there are two zip modules
now, ppa and imm for newer drives. I have fairly new zip drive, but the
cable does not say 'autodetect' like the information in the kernel setup
says. I tried compiling the kernel with ppa, when that didnt work, with
imm. Neither worked, and anytime I type "insmod ppa" (after first
installing redhat and also after upgrading the kernel) it says that the
ppa.o device is busy.
I'm not sure what else to try, any help would be appreciated...
