hi
i use the OSS (Open Sound Sysem) drivers. it's much easier to configure (it
autodetects) and works from the console and Xwindows. i don't know their web
address, but use a web engine to search for them and download a trial
version...
hope this helps,
Andrew

Hi,
thanks a lot, it worked, only that I had to enable, not to disable the
port manually. What did people do before there were newsgroups ;-)

Subject: more printer-ports ?
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 21:27:50 GMT
my motherport only supports one printerport.
this port has very strange behavior: from one moment to the other it stops
working. connected printers show up the busy-light and do not respond any more.
(this happened with a canon bubblejet and a hp-deskjet - both still work fine
on other machines)
so I think the printer-port is damaged and I just want to know if there is some
pci-card or isa-card that will bring me another printer port.
other question of course is: how to install such a card ? do I need special
modules or kernel-patches or will my 2.2.12 recognize the new ports
automatically (when I invoke the parport-modules)
thanks,
peter

Reply-To: "Sean Lincolne" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The readme is correct - the chip (like a LOT of soundcards these days) does
not have any midi hardware onboard, but does it all in software. This is
the winmodem strategy being applied to the soundcard market.
Another possible option I have read of is ALSA (http://www.alsa-project.org)
where Linux is doing the same thing as Windows does. I have not tried this
myself (I am about to give it a stab with a Soundblaster PCI64) but it looks
possible.

Hiya
The SoundBlaster PCI128 uses the ES1370 chip, not the ES1371.
Try changing the driver.

Hi.
I bought an Acer Aspire about 2 years ago and it had a Rokwell 33.6 Isa
modem with it. I went to the page that lists whether the modem is a
winmodem or a real modem, but it didn't have it. Can any of you help me
out? Also I have a 56k pci Lucent Mdp7800-u modem, is it a winmodem?

I don't believe the Epson Stylus Color 500 is still made even if
the original poster wanted one.
I can say that I have had great luck with ours. Prints great from
both Windows and Linux (using ghostscript V5.50).
The only thing that I dislike is the all-in-one color cartridge.
Most are like that except for some Canon's I believe.

I've used to have a i/o expansion card (adds 2 serial ports and 1 parallel).
ISA, about $20. Never got round to using it under linux though. I think it should
be pretty standard, just appearing as a second printer port.

Can you be more specific? There are literally hundreds of different
Rockwell-based ISA modems. A model number or FCC number would help.

Yes. It is a Lucent LT WinModem that uses the Lucent Mars II chipset.

Out of the box it is jumpered for PnP. Disable the PnP to get things

Good luck,

Subject: RH 6.0 not recognizing RAM > 64M even after lilo.conf edit
Date: Sun, 12 Sep 1999 22:36:00 GMT
I am having a hard time getting Redhat 6.0 to recognize the additional
RAM over 64 Megs on my thinkpad 600e. Everything I read says that the
2.2.5-15 kernel should automatically recognize the additional RAM. It
did on my desktop.
Everything is default except for XFree86 3.3.5.
After the initial install top gave me 64. I tried passing variations
(from the lilo docs, redhat support sight, as well as deja postings)
of append "mem=192M" to Lilo during the install, at boot and finally
appended the /etc/lilo.conf and reran /sbin/lilo, which locked the
machine on boot. It locks after apm and clicks about 12 times in about
a second.
When looking on deja I came across a post that it might be a BIOS or
hardware issue. The mother board has two slots and a 32 soldered on.
It came with a 32 in the first slot. When I go into the BIOS it sees
the RAM and NT sees it no problem. I thought it might be an issue with
the first RAM slot so I switched the two DIMMs. That didn't work so I
went on to rerun lilo.
Lilo reran without error and echoed the two boot image names. No
errors. Now it locks up.
Any insight? I am at my wits end.
