Wow... that's GOTTA be slow.
Why don't you try a DITTOEASY 3200 external Parallel port.
Works with Backmaster just fine in Warp4 (that is until FP10 zapped it).

Sure. LILO is installed on the MBR of the first harddrive (on ide0).
Providing lilo.conf is written correctly (which most distros, if not,
all, will take care of for you), it can be used to boot either OS no
matter where they are. Well, I'm not so sure about Windows 9x. I've
never installed Windows 9x anywhere other than to the first partition
on the first harddrive (on ide0). My suggestion is to put one drive on
the primary connection of the first ribbon cable (ide0) and the other
on the primary connection of the second ribbon cable (ide1). Install
Windows 9x _first_ on the first harddrive, and then install Linux on the
second harddrive. This should give you the best performance as far as
I know. All this is assuming you're using IDE harddrives :-)

That means your tape is probably working OK. Now you can simply use any
of the many backup tools...
tar pretty straightforward
taper maybe the best combination of
simplicity and functionality
cpio I have not used this one
afio I have not used this one
dump/restore what I use
BRU comercial product (pay for it)
I have not used it
Arkeia also costs, but a personal-use version
comes with SuSE -- complicated to set up

Exactly. "Unsupported software" aspects sound like corporate lingo to
me. To make it even worse, there's no accountability for it so you
can't blame no one but yourself for using it --- use at your own risk.
You'll have to find the patches for yourself, unless of course you know
how to write code.

Furthermore, there is a new series of WaveLan cards which are IEEE 802.11

Any piece of information will be highly appreciated.

Is anything using DMA 1? The PAS16 driver is, for some reason I have yet to

2D quality)
Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 13:28:00 GMT
Hello all,
I have a small Pentium 100 with 64 Mb RAM using Windows 98 and Linux.
I need to uprgade urgently my graphic card to obtain the best 2D
quality (GIMP, Photoshop, Pagemaker, no games) at 1600@1200 (85 Hz).
And I found that there is almost no PCI cards on the market these
days. All new chips (TNT2, G400 and so on) are AGP only.
It seems that my only choice is Viper 550 (TNT) or 3dfx Voodoo3 2000
PCI.
I've read some reviews to find that TNT seems to have best 2D quality
(with G200 PCI), but that Voodoo3 has higher refresh rates because of
the 300 MHz RAMDAC. It seems also that Voodoo3 is primarily 3D chip
with only average 2D quality for its price.
I also don't know if Voodoo3 works well with Linux (TNT does, my
friends has one Viper 550 AGP, so I know it for sure).
So, Viper or Voodoo, that's a question?
BTW, is Pentium 100 enough for these cards?
Many thanks for your help,
Vladimir

But, since IDE doesn't allow request queueing you can't get two drives

I'm waiting for someone to develop the psychic caching algorithm which

I just had to try this as soon as I got home yesterday; incredibly,
it seems to work perfectly. I made the patch, recompiled the kernel,
and the the driver worked instantly, both as a module and compiled
into the kernel. I've been able to read from and write to the hard
drive (including the data that was already on it) and read from the
CD-ROM, which were both recognized when the aic7xxx module came
up. (I'm using kernel verion 2.2.5; though it shouldn't matter.)
Instructions for making this work follow, but first, be warned:
I don't really know what I'm doing. I don't know what the
consequences are of pretending your 2930U2W is really a 2940U2W.
This could lead to data loss, destruction of your hardware, and
much anguish for you. It's only been working for me for a few
hours now, it might quit tomorrow.
Get a copy of the kernel source. Right now, I think the latest
is 2.2.10. If this is no longer true, you probably shouldn't
try this until you're sure that 2930 support hasn't been added
to the newest version. Make sure you've read and mostly understood
the Recompiling the Kernel HOWTO.
Once you've unpacked the source, look in /usr/src/linux/include and
edit the file pci.h. Search for "ADAPTEC", you'll find a list
of adaptec products with numbers next to them, the 2930 isn't
listed, but the 2940U2W is. The entry for the 2940U2W has the
number 0x0010 next to it; change it to 0x0011. Back up to the
main directory, follow the instructions in the readme for
configuring, building, and installing the kernel, and you should
have working scsi support when you reboot. It doesn't matter
whether you choose to build aic7xxx into the kernel or modularize
it.
Thanks to C'T (dutch edition) for that patch. It this doesn't
work for you...you've got a different problem.

I've installed Red Hat 6.0 but for the life of me can't get the poxy

Can anyone tell me the best way to go about configuring the kernel to
get this little baby working. I can get some information such as base
address, IRQ, DMA etc. from Windoze 98 but
a) I'm not sure if this info matters and
b) some of the info is missing (such as MPU-401 base address etc.)
c) Windoze 98 provides multiple base address ranges
If ANYONE has managed to accomplish this PLEASE let me know how.

Hi,
I have a Diamond bt848 based tv tuner card installed with an Ensoniq 1371
sound card. I am having a bit of a rough time getting the tuner set up
properly and need some advice on the subject. First of all, I started the
bttv module that comes with the version Caldera 2.2 that I have installed.
It started making a throbbing static sound that alternates from speaker to
speaker. Even when I unload the module and reboot the throbbing continues.
I tried downloading a new bttv driver and version of xawtv from Ralphs bttv
page. That hasn't helped, however. I'm not sure if it's because it
complains with errors after I try running 'make ins' after recompiling the
source. I also thought that maybe it wasn't recognizing the card properly
so I tried specifying 'card=5' like it says in the documentation. Anything
else I should try? Thanks for any info.

I have had this argument *so* many times it's not funny : I have never
seen or heard of a problem with a K6 or K6-2 CPU under Linux, and I've
run both for years.
Until I actually hear from someone who's had a problem, this gets
classed
as an urban legend.
Fact : I have run an AMD K6 200 on a Gigabyte 586TX and an AMD K6-2 300
on a Tyan S1590, and I have never had a single crash of *any* kind
under linux. I have talked to a large number of other people with a
large
number of motherboards and AMD CPU's, and none of those had any problems
to report either.

Yep, plug the drives into the Adaptec controller !!!
Also you will have to setup the Adaptec in the Compaq Bios (so it knows it

But you MUST leave a terminated scsi cable connected to the onboard NCR

If sound is working, you probably have some connection problem from the

I had a similar problem with my AWE64, the sequence of wires in the
cable connector had to be changed ...
If you can't hear any sound even from using "play file.wav", you
definitely have a software problem to be solved either by using
"sndconfig" or loading the proper modules for your sound card. See

Their chips could do multiprocessor, ever since the k6 was released

I'm running an Epox board with an AMD K-6 2 3D Now, 300mHz. The board
is fine except
you need to pay attention to protential heat problem, because of the
cpu is sitting low on the board, and there're other stuff around it.
I'd recommand a good heatsink and ball bearing fan combo - the kind
used by over-clocker - to have an extra margin of comfort. With the
stock set up, my cpu was running around 40-45 degree C most of the
time. But with the better heatsink/fan, the temp. dropped to below 40
degree C.
No, I do not overclock. An extra large case fan won't hurt either.
Especially if you have high speed 7,200rpm or faster HDDs, or SCSI.
