You can either use a hub with a 10BaseT system (UTP cable) or direct

This approach could easily become a routing/interface nightmare for a

Subject: Q: Linux/Apache web server hardware
Date: 31 Jan 1999 04:18:25 GMT
I am planning to put together a web server that will run
Linux/Apache, and I would appreciate comments on the following:
Dual Pentium Pro 180
Intel Providence PR440FX mainboard
128 MB memory
7200 rpm narrow SCSI hard drive (all I have lying around)
Are there any known problems with the above hardware and Linux
and/or Apache? I did some digging on DejaNews and only came up
with a couple of posts that concerned a conflict between the
temperature monitor and the sound card (fix available for NT but
not Linux).
Are there any benchmarks, or other guidelines, for estimating
what kind of average/peak load such a server could sustain?
Thank you.

Ditto Max *must* use the ditto dash -- the one that came with the tape
drive. It won't work on the standard floppy controller.

There are two kinds of Ditto Dash controller cards. The Ditto Dash
itself is an ISA plug-and-play (PNP) adapter so you will need to use the
isapnp utility. There is also a Ditto Dash DX card that is not PNP. In
either case, you need to set the right values for IRQ, etc. when you
compile ftape.

These can be modules.

Ditto Max will not format tapes. This is not a Linux issue, but a
limitation of the drive itself. You need to get the official
factory-formatted cartridges made especially for the Ditto Max.
>

Having said all that, I must admit I can't get the Ditto Max to work on
my system (tried on both SuSE and Slackware). In both cases, it "sort
of" works. The ftmt utility works. I can read and write to the tape with
tar and with taper. But, the performance is incredibly slow. Something
like .5 MB/min where it does 18 MB/min under Win 98. This is due to the
fact that it can't seem to get into "streaming" mode. It "shoe shines"
on each write to the tape. Also, I have never been able to read back
more than about 10 MB without getting unrecoverable errors. I have tried
many variations on whatever configuration options I could find.
If anyone can do better than this, I'd like to know how they did it!

Good advice - I have been runing a K6-2-300 in an Epox MVP-3E motherboard
and it is fine (the Epox has a 1M cache, which is a nice feature). system
is stable for weeks, typically till I take it down for some reason. In fact
the only time it has been unstable was when I was clocking the cpu at 350.

Subject: good, cheap PCI serial card?
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 13:23:58 -0500
I could really use another one or two serial ports. It would cost me about $90
to replace one of my ISA cards with a PCI version and buy a cheap "paddle card",
but I'd prefer to leave that old ISA card in place (especially since the drivers
are installed and configured) and buy a cheap PCI serial port card. Preferably
one that would work in Win95 and OS/2 but that's not critical.
Any suggestions?

My thought exactly - but I don't have another, and am reluctant to buy
a new card when it might be the controller ...
So I already posted another message to the appropriate (geographically)
local newsgroup, for any linux/laptop user who'd be happy to try
[my|their] card in [their|my] machine. Local is uk.southwest

Subject: QIC02 TAPE, SuSE 5.3.. how to install and read? Thank you fellows in advance!
Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 18:51:36 +0100
Hello!
I have old fashion QIC02 Tape (150MB extended to 250MB) which is connected
through slot as modem etc and then, as a 25pin connector to the external
drive. I think that manufacturer is ARCHIVE.
According instructions I made new kernel but I don't know how to init
(mount) and to read data from tape.
Can you help me because I am very fresh to that Linux (but have some
experience with unix sco).
10ks in advance,
Blackie

Unless your BIOS refuses to let the machine boot (which can often be changed
in the config), this should be no problem. I have lots of Linux machines
running which only had keyboard and video card in them once - to change the
BIOS settings so they wouldn't care in the future. Now they run headless. I
do the admin over the network or through the serial port, depending on where
they are.
