Yes it will work. Just use the IMM driver, same as the zip plus uses.

Hi,
 I have major problems with my printer setup. I have a Epson 640 and the
thing use to work good, but the options were limited. I thought I'd
install the 5.10 version of ghostscript and see if any new things showed
up for this printer. After I installed however when it comes time to
select a filter I only have 2 options shown, plain text and postscript
(in printtool). Before I did the new install, It
showed the Epson as a choice along with many others, now there are none
except the 2 mentioned. Any ideas? Thanks for any input. Doug

We used to sell those Houston boards (the M57x with PCChips on them)...

If memory serves, as long as the bigger dimm was in slot 0, they would
word (I do remember that the order on the board matter) - I had one with
96 megs of RAM, so it can be done 64 x 1, 32 x 1...

Depends. Radial scratches can be caused by manufacturing (head merge), in which case 
they would be replaced during factory testing. The second cause for (diagonal) radial 
scratches is bumps during operation while the drive is seeking. Truly radial
scratches don't happen any more, they were caused by actuators coming loose during 
transport. That kills today's drives via stiction in the non-textured recording zone.
Bump scratches are circumferential when the drive isn't seeking of course, but more 
probably today you would see several rectangular head footprints from head slap - the 
air bearing is quite stiff, and only when the head tilts while bouncing it hits the
media with the slider corners.
Otherwise, defects are randomly distributed - while the drive is ok. When it starts to 
exhibit bad blocks from debris, there is strong locality - on the same surface, on 
nearby tracks.
Actually, watching error rates, bad block replacements and ECC corrections during 
operation (e.g. SMART) guards against impending hard errors very well so you know 
beforehand when things start to go wrong.

Concurred. Either a sector is good or or uncorrectably bad. There is no such thing as 
bits any more. They are scrambled, randomized and channel encoded away.

Today's drives are id-less. The preamble doesn't contain any data, it just serves to 
prime the preamps and PLL. If it is damaged the data can usually still be read with 
retries and trickery.

Not really. The 'head deafening' is called thermal asperity and is caused by MR 
element heatup from debris hits or (near-) contact with the media. It is usually quite 
short (until the bias control loop kicks in) and is often correctable.

No. Don't confuse ECC with CRC. The drive knows that the data is ok by virtue of a 
correct CRC. Only when the CRC fails the drive looks at the ECC.

In which case it will retry, 'coast' through the preamble and will still be able to 
read the data. Maybe with a few correctable wrong bits in the beginning while the PLL 
gets in sync.

Same disk RAID will give you a little bit of additional safety - only if you put the 
parity on a head far away from the data (if you are lucky enough to know about the 
precise drive geometry.) But combined with SMART et.al. it might help because you will
rarely get surprised by catastrophical disk failure.

Just my 2 cents...

Sorry for any redundancy on this issue:

I am currently running 2.2.1 kernel on a Slackware system. Today I
bought a new SB 128 to replace my SB Vibra 16 PNP.

I am aware that RedHat can detect and configure these cards, but using
Slackware I am not aware of any feature that does this. In the past I
have initialized my PnP card through DOS, but to my knowledge there is
no DOS level configuration for the PCI 128.

I am sure someone has gotten this mix to work, can anyone point me
towards a document that might get me going? Thanks in advance, and my
appologies if this one has been answered a million times.

The AGP one is the original one. It works quite well. We used to sell
the Matrox Millenium G200 AGP on all of our high-end machines, until
we switched to the Diamond Viper 550 (Riva TNT chipset), which ended
up being about the same price while potentially having much better
performance (right now they perform about the same under "X" due to
the fact that TNT support is quite new, but the TNT is a faster chip
in most respects). Actually we wanted to use another TNT board, but
our suppliers seem to be hung up on Diamond -- they stock thousands of
Diamonds, and thousands of ATI boards, and no ASUS or Hercules or etc.
boards :-(.

How big of a load are we talking?

The web server for Linux Hardware Solutions is an old Pentium 166 with
a 1gb IDE hard drive and 64mb of memory, co-located at our ISP. It
doesn't even breathe hard under a load of couple thousand hits an
hour. The load factor is stuck down at 0.1 to 0.3. 

On the other hand, if you are running cnn.com you might want a little more
horsepower :-). 

In short: Unless you're serving a really big load, that's a perfectly
fine drive for a web server under Linux. Just don't try to run
Slashdot off of it!

*WHICH* driver?

Hmm, the numbers you quote make me think you are using the Tulip driver.
I have noticed that the Tulip driver has some troubles with media detection
on certain cards. In fact, we don't use it with the DE-500 cards that we
sell with our systems for exactly that reason -- we use the de4x5 driver. 

You may wish to see if the de4x5 driver works. If not, you may wish to go
back to an earlier version of the tulip drive... 0.90 has some known issues
(media detection, anybody?!). Last tulip I had that worked any good was
0.88, but I don't think that runs under 2.2.1 :-(.

I have an Intel 440BX motherboard with dual Proc. Slots (I'm only using one

I am trying to install RH 5.1 (I just started to download 5.2 with the 2.2

adapter and the only IDE device is the CD-ROM.

The bios sees it just fine, but when I boot to the CD-ROM kernal and do the
SCSI set-up, it can't auto-probe it and I can't find anything that relates
to the parameters I need to use to pass to the module.

Has anyone else had experience with this, or can point me in the right
direction?
Am I just stuck until I get 5.2 all ready to install?

I've checked LDP, extensivly searched usenet, and the web and can't find too
much help so far.

any help is appreciated greatly.

I don't have the GUS, just a simple ESS1868 card but I do have
it and an MPU-401 card working with the regular kernel sound
drivers (kernel 2.0.36).
Your sndstat looks okay. From what it looks like you only have
the MPU-401 card for MIDI. With playmidi use the `-e' 
parameter for an external midi device. 
  playmidi -e bluejam.mid
It should send to the Roland IPC card.
If not maybe the /dev/ stuff is setup properly. Not sure.
