Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all,
Just saw on the biz wire that a company http://www.interix.com has
developed a 64 bit application that runs a a unix/linux emulator within
the MSoft Win2000 (NT5.0) platform environment. They want alot of
Linux apps ported to their API interface so that Unix runs within Windows.
Seems kind of ironic since Linux is trying to run Windows apps in Unix;
but we don't have the source code to their stuff, but they have ours.
Hmmm! seems like there isn't any competition again. Msoft is supporting them
though.
They have a limited list of things they want ported such as gcc (all compilers and
assemblers) and emacs and Tex to name a few. You have 2.5 months to do it
by -- they end of January 1999. Anything else is nice but they won't pay for.
Those they'd like you to port will only pay a maximum of $1000 to a cheap
payment of $500. They didn't mention [conveniently] that they would like the
linux kernel or Sunos x86 kernel etc to run within the interix Win2000.
The reason it was supposed to be done by the end of January 1999 (now past)
is due to todays press release about this product.
Hmmm! if you can't get the Unix software vendors to port their stuf from Unix
to Window Nt, then make the Unix apps run within NT! In this way you can
say that your OS is a engineering workstation.

I think 3Com must be trying to dump the modem business. You quote the
model number 5687, which is NOT a complete model number. I know that
there is a PnP only 02568700 (with the 3Com name on it), which does
NOT have jumpers, and WILL work with Ray Gwinn's SIO driver, IF you
can manage to convince PnP to cooperate (can be a real challenge).
There is also an older model 00568700 (with only the USR name on it),
which does have jumpers, and does work MUCH better.
It also sounds like you may have got the wrong modem in the box. both
5687 modems I have seen, have that number on the serial number
stickers.
Hope this helps...

True enough.

You are making the assumption that there is some magic to having 4 blocks in
a RAID group. There isn't.

Well, except that there are 20% fewer blocks in any given cylinder...

This is OK.

As noted elsewhere, the impact is NOT 4X for an individual block, because
the reading of the old data and parity REQUIRE a rotation of the disk before
you can rewrite them. Best case is a rotation + 2X an individual block's
time.

I've seen some quirks in the tape driver or some tape drives in and
around EOF marks. I'm not sure which quirk you are hitting without
doing some more extensive testing. These quirks are the result of
a long drawn out dark history of strange and exotic interpretations
of how tape drives should behave and how some drivers have made tape
drives appear to behave. Then when things get fixed, something else
has to be intentionally broken so that compatibility is restored.
Try doing:
mt bsr 2
mt fsf 1
Then see if that lands you in the correct position. I don't know if
it will or not since it don't know which quirk is involved, but it is
the next thing I would try in order to diagnose the behaviour.

Subject: Trick to setup ATI All-in-Wonder AGP
Date: 3 Feb 1999 02:38:36 GMT
Finally I was able to setup mach64 to run ATI All-in-Wonder AGP.
The trick is to redefine PCI_CLASS_BRIDGE and PCI_SUBCLASS_BRIDGE_PCI
so that xf86 probing routine is able to read in the AGP board infomation. And
then comment out a break statement in mach64 probing function.
For PCs which don't have an on-board video card, it may not need such troubles.
But since I have a HP Pavilion 8360 which has a ATI 264 VT4, this is the only
way to make ATI AIW AGP board works. It has nothing to do with configuration
file. May be I am one of few Linux users who can modify source code to make
it works.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all.
I recently set up a raid-0 device on a couple of spare partitions, one
partition on a 8.5Mb/sec drive, the other on a 10.5Mb/sec drive (measure
beforehand usind hdparm) Having recently purchaced a quantum fireball
ex.
the thing is, when i do an hdparm speed check on the md device, i get
about 9.5Mb/sec.
The two hard disks are on the same controller, under hda and hdb. With a
cdrom on the second controller as hdd.
am i only likely to see an improved performance with the two hard-disks
on seperate controllers?
ie put the new quantum as hda, and the old hard-disk (fujitsu i think)
on the second controller as hdc, leaving cdrom as hdd.
the two channels per controller is not limited by the speed of the
slower disk, so the manual says.
er, motherboard is a siemens-nixdorf D990.
any help would be apreciated, thanks.

"LI" means that lilo doesn't understand your drive geometry. With big
drives > 512MB you should make sure the drive is used in LBA mode (set
in bios usually) and put the line
"linear"
in your /etc/lilo.conf
this fixed the same problem on my machine.

Is there any way to use my 3DFX Banshee video card with X11.
I tried to find a video driver but it seems that this chipset is not
supported.
I can only use it in "VGA standard" at 640x480 x 16 colors....
I just installed the RedHat 5.2 but it didn't solve any problem.
Is there anybody who can help me?????
thanks.....!!!!!

Do you know if Linux has a driver for the printer HP2000C ?
Thank you for you answer.
