the disks dont want to work together.
solutions:
a. check the drives are configured properly.
master, master with slave present, slave etc.
b. swap hdc for hdd or other swaps as needed.
c. remove the drive(s) . buy one large big drive

All thats required is for the system to come to a 'stable' condition.
Sealed or not has nothing to do with it other than it will run hotter if
sealed because then all cooling is by black body radiation. You put so
much heat in, and eventually that exact amount of heat will come back
out. The method it uses to get out is moot other than how well it works
will control the temperature rise above ambient. Its called the law of
conservation of energy. And that basic physical law is billions of
years older than you or I.

It might be a method to experiment with, but in terms of writing 2

head, is a once in a blue moon success story, and can't be any other
when you throw in the inevitable wibbles in the motor speed which would
cause severe phasing errors between the 2 tracks when applied out in the
real world. Those drives often had a bit of slippage in the disk
clamping, and such unwanted slippage is the primary reason the 3.5"
drives pin drive the disk. At least the disks speed wibbles are
synchronized when the disk is re-inserted, so the only thing that
changes is the physical wavelength of the magnetic domain on the media.

Yes, its hardware. IIRC the use of lines that were (on other platforms)

as hardware control switches. The one impediment to swapping drives
around after the plug styles are compensated for.

Later drives were spindle speed and write currant controlled. The data
rate is the exclusive domain of the FDC chip itself. All of the ones
I've had from the old Mitsubishi 4853 (what a piece if crap that was) on
up were all configured via flea jumpers only. The 4853 was so poorly
shielded it couldn't run in the same room with a color monitor.

The esential specs you need are that the monitor runs at a
hsync of 61.8 kHz and vsync of 66 Hz.
A result of this spec is that you will get about
1152 x 864 on the screen.
Actually with enough ram in your video card you should be able to get
1200x1024 .
At 32bpp you would need over 4 meg of video ram.
You should be able to run at 16 or 24 bpp with a 4 meg video card.
But you can always display black space if you are short of ram.
you must always run at 66khz, 66hz..
so you must be looking at 640x480 the picture must only be in part
of the screen.
given a XF86Config like this that works ...
Modeline "640x400" 25.175 640 664 760 800 400 409 411 450
CLK A B C HS D E F VS
If you add 560 to A , and 624 to D , you would get 1200x1024
Maybe add some to B and E , as long as C and F stay clear of HS and VS.
then adjust the size to keep the display on screen (after adjustment
of the monitor) without using up all available video ram (if you are limited there).
CLK HS and VS determine the horizontal and vertical sync rates.
(and set a maximum on the number of pixels and lines ..)
Actually xvidtune can bump these settings up for you.

Verrrry interesting. "hdparm -i /dev/hdb" on my machine shows mode4 as
flagged, yet "hdparm -t /dev/hdb" gives "only" 13M/sec. I've heard of
people getting approx. 20 or so with that when UDMA/66 is working well.

As I said before, I'm getting this with an UDMA-33 drive. You
really have to do the test while in single-user mode, otherwise
it'll be meaningless (the benchmark will get interrupted by
other disk activity and your figures will be all over the
place).

I just put together a box with an Asus k7v and Athlon 700. I installed
Mandrake 7.02 on it and it went perfectly. It has an Ensoniq Audio PCI
sound card, a Voodoo3 3000 AGP video card, a Linksys LNE100TX pci nic,
and a Realtek RT8029 pci nic. All hardware was detected and configured
during the install. I even have my PC100 sdram clocked at 133 (4:3) and
it's running very stable. If you have any problems with the Lucky, take
a look at the Asus, it's a very nice board.

Subject: Optical drive won't work
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 06:28:43 GMT
Hi,
I just got a brand new internal SCSI IBM 230MB 3.5" optical disk drive,
model# MTA-3230. I can not get this thing to work under Linux. I looked
at the Optical How-To, supposedly this should work. It's detected as
/dev/sda, but I can not format a disk. Everytime I try to fdisk it I
just get "Unable to read /dev/sda". I don't have it terminated since
it's daisy-chained with my SCSI cd-writer, which is terminated.
Has anyone gotten this drive working under Linux? There are some jumpers
for setting different "modes", I used the default mode.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I did it on a brand new PowerEdge 1300 with Perc
The problem is that the installer only detects the ADAPTEC controller (used I
beleive on the 4400 fro the CD-ROM Drive : On the 1300, there is still an
ADAPTEC card but the CD-Rom is an IDE one)
When you're are told that the Adaptec has been detected, you're asked
something like �Have you some SCSI adapter) reply YES and select AMI MEGARaid
from the list. Then it will recognoze the Perc stuff and find your drives.
Took me a night to figure out what was the problem (too much used to a very
effective hardware detection)
Hope this will help

To add to this the drivers are available at www.opensource.creative.com
and the only card currently supported is Dxr2 NOT 3!!!!! This driver
works but still is in development, no menus and fancy things like that

Subject: Linux on a notebook with an ATI Rage Mobility?
Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2000 12:33:57 +0200
Hi, everybody.
I'm about to buy a Gericom notebook (Millenium series)
providing an ATI Rage Mobility video adapter (8 MB SGRAM,
2x AGP). The question is simple: is X11 compatible with it?
If so, can it take advantage of its specific 2D/3D capabilities?
Thanks in advance for your help.
