James,
this is most likely due to the little "nipple" just under the screen
being initiated when you close the lid - this is a small switch that trys
to put the machine into standard SLEEP mode.
My solution on a similar machine? ... Get a big snippers and cut out the

I don't know if this will help, but I know with the 3com/Megahertz CardBus
10/100 ethernet card, I had to use a DOS boot disk and manually configure
the I/O & IRQ. It is only configurable under DOS & Win95/98. It wouldn't
even config correctly under NT.
Good Luck,

Your input would be appreciated, i am going to order it tommorrow around 2 or

One of those catalogs that keeps getting mailed to me has the Optra
right up there with other inkjets. You just have to find a
business-focused place that hasn't written all Lexmarks off as being
as flimsy as the cheapo "color jetprinter" line.
One thing to worry about is memory. On a postscript printer you'll
need a good bit of it, since the whole page gets rendered and then
printed out. You may wish to spring for the extra SIMM from the
beginning; it's usually not too terribly expensive...

Check to see whether or not your drive is jumpered as a slave, or master, and
whether or not you're using it as appropriate. If you have only one cable, and
are using only one port, then your cdrom drive has to be jujmpered as a slave
drive. If you have it on a separate IDE port/cable from your hard drive, then
it has to be jumpered as a master, unless there is another master device on that
port, like an IDE tape drive, or removeable, then it has to be jumpered as a
slave.

Yes, it should work just fine. Both "wide" and "ultra" transfers are
negotiated for after the controller has scanned the bus.
Note, however, that you'll need funky cabling or extra adapters to
plug wide devices into a narrow bus or vice-versa. Similarly, you'll
need to be careful wish ID assignments if your drive is wide and your
bus isn't; the upper bit doesn't exist on narrow busses...

True, basic ballistics don't require much computing horsepower. But I

I was on a Knox class frigate (1992-1994) when I encountered this

I am one of the many, like you, who have this card, as well. Specifically,
I have the the ViBRA 16X known as the Waveffects card (model CT4170). The card
works fine via sndconfig in RH5.2.
I noticed in the post, which you gave the URL for, that you said the 8-bit
channel accepts 16-bit audio. This may sound dumb, but does the card function
in Linux, then, as a true 16-bit card despite playing everything through the
8-bit/low DMA channel? I'm no audiophile, but the stereo MP3's and CD's I've
played with this card in Linux sound really good. I'm just curious, that's
all :-)
Thanks,

I'm sure you really mean ISA, not VESA, as the rare combo boards that had both
PCI and VESA slots are thankfully so, but an ASUS board with 9 slots??? I
wonder... Anyway, if it is a true hardware-based device, then at least under
Win9x, you will probably have to add hardware, and instead of trying to add the
modem, try adding the COM port, and if it doesn't conflict with any motherboard
built-in ports (Hint--disable all ports you aren't needing to use before hand),
then it will find the comm port, and then you can tell it to look for a modem
there, if it doesn't find it. If you can't even get win9x to recognize it no
matter what you do, then you probably have a bad card.

We need to set up a couple of compute servers that will be used through
remote network connections only. Obviously, it doesn't pay to put any sort
of fancy graphics board into the computers. So if I wanted to find the
cheapest possible video card (one that would at least allow the occasional
console login), what would people recommend getting?

Subject: need help with scsi
Date: 31 Mar 1999 07:02:01 GMT

hi,
I have a ava1502 scsi card and a hard drive that works fine when I load
the module with
# modprobe aha152x aha152x=0x140,12,7,1,1
and mount sda1. However, I can't get it to load the modules correctly when
booting. I put an entry into /etc/conf.modules:
options aha152x aha152x=0x140,12,7,1,1
In the boot message, right after the ide drives it says:
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
I assume that this is because my bios doesn't have any settings for scsi
so it is loaded later. Later in the message it gives me an error:
modprobe: can't locate module block-major-8
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda1 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
What am I doing wrong? thanks

No indeed, but lots of people do. Lots of people also install
Microsoft products too.
All RedHat does is pull together a consistent set of stuff so that
people don't have to do it themselves. That's good. But to suggest
that they actually add value apart from that is rubbish.

Indeed you can, unless you are prepared to take the risk of losing
some feature in the process! You could, of course, look at the
diffs, look at your patch (which you may have got elsewhere), and
try to figure out what will fit and what you want and what will
really happen. Great fun, I'm sure.

Thanks for the advice! I've also heard a _lot_ of people recommending the
IBM drives.
I'm still trying to decide between the Quantum Atlas III drive and the IBM
Ultrastar 9ES though. The Ultrastar looks excellent, and about the same
price as the Quantum drives. However it only has a 512KB buffer, as
opposed to the Quantum's 1MB. The IBM drives with 1MB (such as the 9LP)
appear to be about $200 more.
Is the extra 512KB buffer worth it to go Quantum for the price? Or is the
performance increase negligible?

s.o. piu alcuni aggiornamenti(è del febraio 98)
CD n°3-Raccolta programmi e utilita per Linux distribuzione RedHat
CD n°4-il cd del 02/99 di Internert News con la distribuzione Debian
il mio problema e che con il CD n°1 riesco ad installare il s.o. di base e
basta niente di piu non riesco a fare funzionare il programma dselect che
dovrebbe in stallare i paccheti del debian pero non lo fa prima di tutto
dice che manca il driver per il cd-rom e quindi non posso usarlo e poi un
avolta che riesco a fare funzionare il cdrom non mi riesce ad installare i
pachetti prova ad instalarli poi si ferma con un errore segnalato come error
1 e non capisco perchè.
con la versione RedHat invece va tutto benissimo riesco ad installare tutto
e funziona quasi perfettamente se non che non mi vede la rete
che è un arete soto dominio NT usando il protocolo TCP/IP adirittura non
riesco a pingare dal computer pero la schefda di rete funziona perfettamente
ed è una realtek 8029(PCI) vista come una ne2000 o provato anche a fargliela
vedere come una un ne2kpci pero il problema persiste. ed infine vorei sapere
come fare una rete con pc Windows NT Server, Windows NT Workstation, Windows
98, Windows for WorkGroup 3.11, e Linux gradirei qualunque suggerimento e
possibile documentazione in italiano o in francese grazie a tutti

By the time it is done, the target won't be there anymore... :)

Cool... any photos? :)

They are, I hope I can see one operate (read: firing) with my eyes, and then
go and see the stabilizing mechanism and the computer... :) That would be
quite an experience... :)

Subject: HELP: Serial Mouse --> PS/2 mouse
Date: 30 Mar 1999 02:52:22 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Marie-France Toupin)
Hi all,
I'm running Slackware 3.2 (kernel 2.0.29) that was initially
configured to be used with a serial mouse.
But now, I need to free /dev/ttyS0 to use my digital camera!
I also have a PS/2 intellimouse that I'm not currently using!
Thus what do I have to do to switch the serial mouse for the PS/2 mouse?
Is it enough to just recreate the soft link for /dev/mouse or
do I have to reconfigure X?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !
