Can't get my Opti 82c924 sound card configured. It's soundblaster compatible
but during install Linux doesn't find it. Configuring by hand doesn't seem to
be working either.
Help! a newbee.

My eject button never works unless I first boot Win95 and its Iomega Zip
drivers.
I think it's an ATA thing because my Pentium systems at work don't have
this problem. The button works fine all the time.
But the problem machine is a Pentium-II system with this Ultra-ATA
interface. From what little I've found out on the net, the standard
(called ATAPI-2) incorporates stricter rules for locking removable
media, i.e. disabling the manual eject button.
Something in the Iomega drivers in Win95 activates the button, and it
stays active even after I reboot into Linux. But the linux 'eject'
command hasn't worked on this system yet.

I Have fitted a new soundcard Into my Linux system and I cannot get It to

Its made by 'ADDONICS' and model Is 'SV750/Trident 4D wave'
This Is PCI based using 'Trident 4D Wave PCI audio chipset' which I cannot
seem to get Info on.
According to the DOCs I have for the card It Is supposed to be
Sound Blaster / Sound Blaster Pro compatible and also Windows Sound System.

I cannot get any reasonable graphics with X.....
640 x 480 @ 256 colours is the best I can get, and it's mega-yuk!

Lilo is only able to boot from disks that the computer BIOS is able to
boot from. Most bioses are only able to boot from the primary ide
controller. You will probably not be able to use lilo to boot from hdc.
However, there are other tricks to boot Linux. If you use DOS you could
use loadlin. If you have the NT bootloader that one could be used to
boot from a file containing a lilo image. A boring way to boot linux is
to use a boot floppy.

I am using the 2.1.125 linux kernel, with compiled support for the Ensoniq
AudioPCI 1370, although I hear that some of the PCI 128 cards use the 1371.
With the new Creative Chips in place of the Ensoniq chips I do not know a way
to tell which chip you've got. Check your card - if the chip says Ensoniq on
it, you can get the number from it, otherwise, just try the 1370 first, then
the 1371.
I am assuming that my problem is related to an incorrect permission on a
files somewhere. Anyone have any clues?
Thank you

Apparently only the EIDE version is currently shipping. The drive costs $200
and the media is $30 for each 2.2 GB disk. I'm not sure about Linux
support - I suspect the drive can be used as a generic removable media IDE
drive (although Castlewood's documentation says you must install the ORB
Tools to properly configure and use the drive).

I've got one working using the regular ne2000 (ne.o module) card
standards. I think I had to disable the PNP using MS-DOSS :-) and
give it a permanent IRQ, IO address. It's been since like August or
Sept. of last year when I dealt with it. So far, it's been running
fine.

Subject: WangDAT SCSI settings
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 19:23:21 +0000
Dear Friends
Forgive me if there is an obvious answer... I have scoured the news
archives and the net to no avail over this one:
I have a Redhat 5.2 Intel box, Adaptec 2940 card, WangDAT, CDROM and a
couple of hard drives on a single SCSI bus.
The DAT responds to the normal mt erase/rewind etc commands OK.
I can write small amounts of data to the tape (cat /etc/hosts >
/dev/st0)
and it reads back OK.
*BUT* is I try to tar a large quantity of data down to the device, I get
some generally bad messages in the message buffer - please see below.
I've played around with various <mt stoption> settings, including
scsi2logical, but to no gain. Tried different tapes, cleaned the drive
(which used to work on a Novell box :-|
Generally, the drive dies after what appears to be 1 buffer full of data
has been transferred.
I was wondering if there are some *particular* options which I need to
set for this tape drive - or whether (my other conclusion) the drive is
dead.
Your suggestions would really help me out here :)
Many TIA...
