Assuming this is an IDE version of the LS-120 and not the parallel port of which
I know nothing.
You're not going to get it to work with your 1.X kernel as 2.0.32 (or maybe 31)
was the first to support LS-120 drives.
However, fit the drive and boot with one of the modern single floppy distros
such as TOMSRTBT (find out about it on freshmeat). This comes with 2.0.36 and
recognises the LS-120 on boot up. I admit I can't remember actually _using_ my
LS-120 under such conditions but if it is seen and recognised in the boot
messages then I'm not worrying. Then mount your existing drive and the LS-120
and copy your stuff off. Hey you may even want to put a linux file system on the
LS-120 drive before you do the backup, it _does_ work, I use mine like this all
this time.
Lastly, you need to check that your motherboard can support these drives, if it
can't then no kernel version will help you.

Yes, it will work. If you are running redhat 5.(1|2) run the control
panel from xwindows, select the printer tool, and then select the 600
series. Use 'fix star-stepping text' and you should be good to go. Note,
however, that you do not get to select the various modes for
photo-paper, etc. (I have a 693C, nearly identical), unless someone
knows of a driver that does ... considering attempting to run the
windows stuff under wine.

Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 14:31:11 GMT
I've went through all the previous postings on this subject and found no
help :/
this is the problem:
It appears that the card is found and the proper module is loaded (3c59x)
but it still won't work, also when I run ifconfig, it tells me that the
encap is 10Mb which dead wrong, I used the 3Com utility to set
the card to 100Mb only, but it still says 10Mb. since our network here is
100Mb it doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to force the network speed? Or if anyone knows this
problem in particular, what the h*ll do I do? I've even gone as far as to
reinstall the whole shazam. And I have the latest of everything, I know, I
spent hours on checking hehe :)
Appriciate any help I can get
Sincerely,

I'm not sure what's best for you, but here's a few ideas.

You can connect two 10BaseT ports together with a crossover cable.

I wonder what ports a cable modem has? I suspect only 10BaseT.
On the other hand, they may well want you to use a certain NIC
with it.
>Having said that what is a good, cheap or mid priced NIC card that I

These days, boards with a 10BaseT connector tend to be about as
expensive as 100BaseTX boards.
If you have spare PCI slots in both boxes I would get 100TX boards.
Linksys advertise Linux compatibility on the box (although I've read
that they don't allow the IRQ to be shared with other cards). You
can get cheap kits with 100TX cards, cables and a 10BaseT hub for
around $80.
Alternatively, get ultracheap NE2000-type cards. I've seen them as
low as $10 with 10BaseT.

Hi. I have a multipass C5000 printer and attached to the parallel port IOMEGA
zip drive. I tried looking up every possible driver for my printer but so far
nothing. I unplugged the zip drive from the back of my computer and attached
the parallel port of the printer and tried to work it out but still no
response from the printer even when I try to get the port working. Does
anybody know how to get the Multipass C5000 printer working under Linux. I
had no trouble getting my win95 3c509b-tpo working so I assumed the same
should happen for the printer or maybe I'm wrong. Any suggestions?

Well, I placed an order today with CDW for the Iiyama VisionMaster 450
Pro. After reading a bit more, plus listening to the suggestions made
here (as well as dejanews archives), this seems to be the best choice
out there for my price range and desired features. The key features I
like about it are 1600x1200 at 80Hz, BNC connectors, and a flat screen
(Diamondtron).
I'll post another followup when it gets here and I've had time to
drool on it for a while *grin*
Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to help me make my decision!
Wish me luck :)

Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 16:28:48 GMT
I have a chicken/egg problem with this exact setup. My LS-120 is
my secondary Master (hdc). Otherwise, my system is totally SCSI
sda, sdb, sdc, with Linux being on sdb4, and swap on sdb3.
However, I have Win95 and Win98 installed on Disk 0, using Partition
Magic's boot manager to manage the dual boot. So, I really would
just prefer booting into Linux via floppy.
So, here's my chicken egg. I can't get Linux installed without creating
a boot floppy. And it seems I can't create a boot floppy without
installing Linux. So, is there anyway to create the boot floppy
from Dos, or Winblows 9x, or some other OS, using my LS120???

Lower the res to 640 by 480, colors down to 256 and refresh rate down to

Subject: HP Deskjet 400 won't print ps - Help?!
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 11:08:35 -0600
I posted this message in comp.os.linux.misc, so if you read it there skip it.
Sorry for the double posting, but I am new to Linux... still learning the
trade.
--- Reporting printing problem ---
Printer Model: HP DeskJet 400
Software: Redhat 5.1; kernel 2.0.34; ghostscript 3.33, printtool 3.28
Problem: No longer able to print but text files.
Facts:
- "Print ASCII test page" and "Print ASCII directly to port" no
problem.
- Printing ps test file from print tool the following message is
printed "-r must be followed by <res> or <xres>x<yres>
note: The same happens if I attempt it from gv.
Solutions attempted:
- Reinstall the printer (selecting HP DeskJet 400, 500C, ... driver)
- Uninstall the printer, deleting /var/spool/lpd/lp/* and
reinstall.
- add the line -r 300x300 to the /var/spool/lpd/lp/postscript.cfg
- add the line -r 300x300 to the Ghostscript options available
from the print tool window.
- install a newer version of ghostscript 5.10, but this removed the
HP DeskJet 400 driver. Even though, I attempted with an
alternative HP driver, the error messages were the same.
So, I uninstalled it and reinstalled the Ghostscript 3.33.
Weird facts:
- I was able to print ps files, webpages, files created with
StarOffice
5.0 up until today (1.2.99);
- Sorry, I do not know the exact content of the printcap that did
work for me. This is the content of the current (annoying) printcap
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL cdj500 300x300 letter {} DeskJet500
1 1
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
- What I did today (1.2.99) before attempting a print out:
- installed RealPlayer 5.0
- installed R (a statistical packages), which required me to
"updated" the libraries w/ "ncurses3".
- note: All packages installed w/ rpm -i or -U option.
- When I first installed RedHat 5.1 I had exactly the same problem,
the n-th time I installed it, for some 'magical' reason everything
worked fine (as I reported above). So, the problem is really not
new.
Thanks in advance to all of you

Is this Soundblaster your sound card or just a SCSI adapter? Never heard of a
SB SCSI controller, in my (limited) experience. If it's a sound card you are
ok...I have a similar setup on my 486. I think you might need a kernel with
SCSI support for that one. If that's the case all you have to do is mount the
drive: "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom" if /mnt/cdrom is your mount
point.

if it is an Internal IDE use mount -t vfat /dev/hdc4 /mnt
change the hdc to hdd or whatever drive it is.
an Internal SCSI is mount -t vfat /dev/sdc4 /mnt
if these don't work, there is a ZIP HOW-TO.

It sounds like you didn't read the documentation for the Vortex
driver. I do recommend reading it. Documentation is available at
there web site, as well as in the source code for the driver.

I would like to get any feedback from people who have used Dell's
servers (especially dual pentium configurations) under Linux. I am in
the process of deciding if i should stick to Dell's configured and well
warranted hardware or should i build my own.
Alternatively if you know of reliable vendor of Linux-compatible servers
and parts, please let me know. Any comments and suggestion appreciated,
