If the card has an FCC ID try searching for the manufacturer at:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/

Maybe they will have a website and supply more details there.

I have the same unit, I think.  Although I thought the model number was
TD-8000.
Any way the unit I have works fine with tar and taper.

Do you have all the necessary SCSI drivers compiled into your kernel or
available as loadable modules?
For me thats scsi-adapter aix7xxx.o and st.o.
If they exist as loadable modules is there a corresponding line for them
in /etc/conf.modules?

Do the SCSI tape devices exist? (ie. /dev/st0, /dev/nst0)

If you try these ideas and they don't help, post the error messages that
you get in
your follow-up.

HTH,
Craig.

Hey folks,

Any pre-reviews of Linux running under AMD Athalon systems?  It looks
like they've finally beaten Intel!  Check out:

        www.tomshardware.com

for the benchmarks.  The IBM systems also look quite sexy.

I wonder if anyone will release an Athalon-optimized compiler?

Thanks, that explains it.  You may not believe me, but I have not
crashed Win98.  Then again, I don't run it very often, booting it only
to play avi files and play games.  And since I bought Civ CTP for Linux,
I don't need to reboot into Win98 for games anymore.

I haven't seen any running linux yet, but I think it's safe to say they'll
rock. From the benchmarks I've seen, they're great, but I still find the fpu
performance dissapointing, considering you've got 3 of em. Still, it's
definately on my shopping list :-)

I assume the egcs and gcc people will come up with something as soon as it's
out.

Subject: HD and OS questions
Date: Fri, 13 Aug 1999 04:52:09 GMT

I'm building a new computer,  mainly to run Linux on, and I have some
questions about hard drives and operating systems.  I'm moving up from
a 8M 386 PC.  to a 128M dual Celeron Abit BP6 system and I'm trying to
keep the new system as cheap as possible.  I've mostly used Win 3.1 on
the PC.  The 386 HD is a 125M, most of it compressed with Dos 6.22
Drivespace.  I also have, an external  SCSI zip drive and 1522 and
1542B adapters.  I plan to instal the 1542B in the new computer with a
1.0xG SCSI HD solely for Linux.  I'm adding a smaller IDE for
Dos/WIn3.1 and to boot LInux from.  I also want to keep my 386 PC semi
functional functional (I'll be swapping the old ISA video card for a
whille).

I bought a Conner 170M HD at an auction for a few bucks.  I pulled my
IDE/atapi CD-ROM out, put it in the new case and installed the 170M
drive as slave in the old box to format it and copy files.  It would
not format,   I assumed I had bought a bad drive.  After a bit of
searching I found a used Western Digital AC2540 (540M) for $25 from a
university surplus store.  I assumed that it had been formatted and
deleteed or scrubbed.  I downloaded some docs from WD.  I checked my
old drive, Seagate ST-3144A, and found that it was jumpered as a
single drive rather than mater with slave present.

Q1)   Did I have my Cyberdrive 12x IDE/atapi CD-ROM installed
correctly?  If I install it as a slave on the new box, how should the
master drive be jumpered?

After setting the master drive to master drive with slave, the Conner
drive formatted just fine and I XCOPYed all of the compressed C: drive
to the new uncomressed D: drive.  I found a couple more hidden files
and copied those as well.   Everything seemed to fit.  However, the
Connor drive was formatted with a 4K cluster size, and yet it used a
few KB less space than that shown for drive C:.  BTW, this drive is
slow.

Q2)  Did I overlook something?

Next, I connected the WD drive as slave.  This drive has 1048
cylinders.  I set the BIOS parameters to 1023 cyl, 16 heads, 63
sectors.  Fdisk indicated that the drive was labled MS-DOS_6,
formatted as primary DOS fat 16, 503MB.  I saw no indication that
EZ-Drive had been used.  A directory listing looks normal and shows
526K total with 18K free.  From Win 3.1 I can examine  subdirectories.
There are many hidden files.  It appears to have WIN95, Office 95 and
WIN 98 installed, although that seems like a lot for this drive.  It
will be interesting to see how this drive boots up on the new
computer.

I don't really want to run Win95/98.  At least not enough to pay for
it.  I did not like using it the few times that I was forced to.
However, I had promised to do some consulting on a small hobby program
that ony runs on WIN95/98/NT.  Actually it runs well on an Apple
somputer with a Windows emulator, so I was hoping t than that shown

I've the same problem with an AOpen mobo (ax59pro). AFAIK this is a BIOS

Award, but there are companies that didn't fix this in their (mobo specific)
own BIOS versions. I tried to complain several times to AOpen, but they
refused to fix the problem. In general, they seem to dislike any contact to
customers, so I can only recommend not to buy AOpen mobos.

You should try to complain to your motherboard company. Perhaps they are

I've read a number of these posts about the SIIG Ultra ATA card.
Essentially, the original poster(s) experienced the exact same problem I've
had trying to install a Promise Ultra ATA66 card in my older Dell XPS P90.
Conflicts, lost drives, etc.  Maybe its something about the BIOS that

If these cards can't work with older machines, the manufacturers should just
say so, and save people a lot of headaches.

I have an Imagewriter I (currently not being used).  It has a DB 25-pin
female connection on it.  It sounds as if the Imagewriter II has a
different style of connector.

I'm assuming the Imagewriter II is still a serial printer just like
the Imagewriter I.  You will need to connect this printer to a serial
port unless you have a parallel-to-serial port converter device that
I have seen sold in various computer catalogs.

This cable will also need to be a null modem device if I remember
correctly.  I believe the (at least with the Apple IIe) Super Serial
card had a jumper block that converted the card for use between a
printer and a modem.  You could use the same straight through cable
for both a printer and a modem.

I would do a search for Macintosh/Apple equipment and see if you
can find someone who sells cables.  I'm sure one could be made with
a little work.

One company that I have purchased Sun cables from is:
http://www.ultraspec.com

They don't carry Apple stuff specifically, but they sure do carry
a lot of different cables.  Maybe one of theirs may work.
