I have a 5500R with a 3200 controller. I can see the controller but it won't
boot of off it. I have RedHat 6.0 and kernel 2.2.12. When I lilo the array
and try to boot off of it it says invalid system disk. Any ideas?

What kind of z80 computer?
If it is an old CP/M computer I think I may still have some software
to read CP/M format (my first Fortran program from years back), I used
it to read single-density 80KB 8" floppies on a minicomputer that was
able to read the sectors.
First thing you need is hardware that can read the sectors off the
floppy, and this must be hardware you can actually log in to. If
this isn't Unix or anything like it then if at least there's some
way of reading off the data (dd equivalent) and then it's just the
question of hardware.
Or did you plan to take that drive and physically connect it to
a Linux box? You'll have to find out what kind of electrical interface
it has first. Some of them had interfaces equivalent to old 5 1/4" drives.
Then you'll have to go on from there.
But by now there are too many questions already..

Have you tried Slackware? I installed it recently on a 386 with no
math coprocessor, and it booted without problem. Installing a new
version into a 8 MB machine is a bit of a problem. So, you might
try an older version it a new one doesn't work.

i found another document which might be useful for the setup of a LCD

http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~steveh/inspiron/#free_x
The section in question starts like this:
"Setting up X is usually the hardest part of linux configuration --
especially if your card is not supported directly by the X server.
Currently, the stock free Xserver developed by the XFree86 Project
appears to only partially support the ATI Rage LT Pro/Mobility-P 3D found
in the I7k. However, there are a number of workarounds that will allow
one to use X at 1024x768. Please read this entire section before you try
any of the methods. Please reread this section and all its steps before
you even consider emailing me!"
I think it's time for a Linux-LCD HOWTO. Anyone? :-)

I don't think you can get 40 Mb out of 50 pin stuff. 25 and
50 pin SCSI
is 1 byte wide, 68 pin is 2 bytes wide. If your drive is
only 50 pins
wide, you will need a special adapter which deals
intelligently with
this difference in protocols you have here. You might want
to visit
http://cynosurex.granax.com/SCSI/SCSI_Content.html
to get a better idea on how all this stuff works. This
seems like
a good site to me, and I have nothing to do with it.

I'd guess that the asyncronous (computer) side of the TA may be set for
xonxoff flow control rather than hardware flow control. If that's the
case then you *may* be able to set it for hardware flow control and use
crtscts and asyncmap 0 as pppd options. But the truth is that I don't
know enough about the details of flow control and ISDN TAs to be certain.
I would be interested in what you find out though.
Rethinking the serial port question, the one you have should be adequate
assuming it works correctly. The 16550A is generally capable of 115200
which is near enough to 128k to make little difference when there's no
compression involved. The specification is nominal and the actual speed
that can be attained also depends on computer load.

You need to make sure that it is not a Winmodem. It might have something

Subject: Re: CD Rom not working....... HELP!!!
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 13:02:41 -0500
Louis,
In Linux (and other variants of Unix) devices like a CDROM or a floppy
are treated as file
systems. In order to use them you have to mount them. In order to do
so, you have to create a mount point and use the mount command.
Typically, a CDROM is mounted on /mnt/cdrom and a floppy on
/mnt/floppy. The mount command will take options depending on what
you are actually mounting (chack the man page).
There are a couple of simplifications to this procedure. If you use
one of the popular desktops (Gnome or KDE), there should be an icon
representing a CDROM and one representing a floppy. Double clicking
on this icon should mount the device for you and open a file browser
on it. Just remember that once you are done with it you have to
explicitly unmount it by right-clicking on the icon and choosing
unmount. So, for example, if you want to look at another CD, you have
to unmount the first one, change the CDs and mount the new one.
In a standard installation there should be a package installed (I do
not remember its name) which gives you a command line access to the
floppy without explicitly mounting it. Try to put a floppy in and
type
mdir
into a shell. If this package is installed, you should see a
directory listing of the floppy. All the commands in this package
start with the m letter.
Hope this helps.
Andy

Put a 'append="ether=0,3,eth1"' in your lilo.conf
This tells lilo that it should look for more than one NIC, then the
modules will load properly i imagine.

FWIW it might be an idea to try wvdial, especially wvdialconf; that probes

Date: Thu, 9 Sep 1999 11:21:35 -0400
The problem is that atlthough the PCMCIA Ethernet driver loads just fine,
and ifconfig is correct, and I am able to ping out anywhere, the card hangs
on any big data stream. I can connect via FTP and get an ls, but any file
transfer fails. I can't surf the web at all. I can telnet in, but when I run
pine in the remote session, it chokes. The PCMCIA howto mentions how this
may be a timing problem with the bridge. The bridge is a Texas Instruments
PCI1250 Cardbus. What parameters do I set? The i83365 man pages just say the
configuration parameters it accepts, but no hint as to values deviating from
the 4.whatever MHz standard bus timing equivalent. Any suggestions?
PS: I used a PCMCIA CD "Assemble in Mexico" (no typo!) to do the install.
The funny thing is that in order to use the drive in NT, you have to resort
to the parallel interface; PC Card doesn't work on NT! Score one for
Linux...
