There are also a few (one or two) vendors who are still selling the Ensoniq
1370 (AudioPCI) soundcards. I just ordered one yesterday from Axion (I
think that's right). Go to Pricewatch and type in '1370' in the search
field. I think I paid about $23 plus shipping for the card.

I have the umax. Works with SANE and an Adaptec card. Big software
limitation: no options to scan something smaller than the full A4.
Otherwise it's fine.
BTW - the so-called SCSI card supplied is useless. And the windoze software
doesn't work - not even after a long call to tech support. Basically the
s/w has a fixed menu of ioports, and none of them work (Linux autodetects
the correct ones, of course).

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
This thread is very interesting to me, because I have a temperamental IBM
keyboard that sometimes hangs my computer for a while. In the syslog it
says 'Keyboard timed out.' Things usually return to normal if I unplug
the keyboard and plug it back in. However, the keyboard repeat rate is
lowered after that. I suppose it might return to the default when I plug
it back in....
Anyway, if anyone has an explanation for why IBM keyboards in particular
would act this way, I'm interested in hearing about it.

Subject: Can someone tell me what this means (HardDrive error)
Date: Thu, 24 Jun 1999 09:11:59 -0400
Hi,
I have just installed an old hard drive (Western Digital 170MB IDE) that
I had laying around into my Linux box. The drive is the second drive in the
system, and is properly set to be the slave drive. The master drive is a WD
340MB ide. I get the following errors whenever the system tries to access
the recently installed drive:
hdb: irq timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hdb: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
hdb: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hdb: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40, sector 0
hdb: drive not ready for command
hdb: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
hdb: drive not ready for command
FAT bread failed
ide0: reset: success
What do these series of errors mean? What is causing them? I can't do
anything to the disk in Linux, no fdisk, no mount, nothing. I know the
drive works fine, because I have no problem using it in Windows.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

If you've read the Cola's page, you may have known by now that M-S48 is an OEM
version and uses Zilog logic board (open it up to confirm). I've an NEC OEM
FirstMouse+ and couldn't get it wheel to work with X. Other than that, the mouse
works just fine on my machine. BTW, I'm using 'MouseManPlusPS/2' protocol, works
just fine as 3 buttons mouse too.

Brian,
When you say this drive is the second in the system, is it on the same
controller as the first drive?
If it is, is the jumper correct on the master? It should be set to "Drive is
master, slave present" or similar.
If you've got no other IDE devices, you might want to set each drive to be
the master drive on its own controller.

Red Hat is a good distro. They are all a little different. Find one that
suits you. I started with Caldera OL 1.0, then I went to Red Hat 4.2 then
5.0. I now use SuSE 6.0 and find that fills my needs. Internet connectivity
was easy to setup and When I learn more about networking I hope
that will be easy to setup as well, with YaST.
Be open minded like the software.

i would vehemently disagree in the compaq case. compaq used to be
great but is now a packard-bell wannabe. compaq has a special case,
special motherboard, and recently motherboard embedded sound. it's a
pain in the ass if you ever want to add anything to it. as for
running a different operating system, it can be painful since
everything is a special kludge.
get a generic white box from a small mom and pop located in your local
<ethnic> section of town. you get standard parts. you can call out
specific brand name parts (try getting dell to *not* ship you a win-
modem). the small shops will let you buy it without an operating
system and let you avoid the microsoft tax. the case will allow
upgrading the motherboard and so on.

i like ncftp. it shows your transfer rate. download a file (best if
it is as local to your isp as possible - many isps provide a test

While this works for me, it doesn't really explain why the Slackware boot
disks allow me to mount my 3 gig IDE drive, yet I can't manage to compile my
own kernel to do the same....
Booting off a floppy isn't really the most desirable scenario, considering
the fact that I need to dual boot Win98.
Does anybody have a solution? I am also using a 486 DX4-100.

It seems as though the C revision of the 905 ethernet card is not supported by
the 59x driver within the kernel. If you took the card from the Win box it should
work fine. I have looked for an update or new driver that supports the C
revision, but have been unsuccessful. Let me know if you have found anything.

I have RedHat 6.0 and the Promise Ultra66 card. My configuration is:
Primary ide: Disabled
Secondary ide: CD ROM
ATA66: WD 13.2 drive.
I installed NT and Linux on the drive with the drive in the ata66 mode. The
UDMA HOWTO included on the RH 6.0 CD worked well for me. I loaded NT first.
Used NT to print off the howto. The howto does not list the 66, just the 33
card. But it worked anyway. I set my BIOS to boot the cdrom. Booted the
RedHat cd. Went through the procedure in the document several times to get
and understand the information I had to supply at boot/Install time to get
the card to work.
Bottom line, I supply the boot/install prompt the following
boot: linux ide2=0xd400, 0xd802
When the installation got to the part about configuring lilo I gave it the
same parameter again so I would not have to type it in everytime. I did get
and error on boot up but it flashed so quick I did not get it written down.
Anyway it worked.
I replaced an older smaller drive -- works great seems faster to me.

Subject: Can serial ports share an IRQ?
Date: 19 Jun 1999 06:56:12 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've forgotten the way that this works.... Is the problem with using
two serial ports on the same IRQ concurrently that the ports conflict
at the hardware level (the IRQ signals "collide" or something) or that
the software does not usually check one port and then the other to see
which *actually* generated the interrupt, and so it gets confused?
The reason I ask is that standard serial devices that share an IRQ *do*
seem to conflict in Linux. Smart as Linux usually is, I figure it's
just an inevitable property of the hardware, but I want to make sure
that there isn't something I can do to make them co-exist peacefully,
short of changing one's IRQ.
