not as good, and if you get a flakey one it can be a real pain.
Suggestion: Get a Celeron 466 and a Socket 370 mainboard that will
let you overclock the memory bus to 75 Mhz (most will). That gets you
525 Mhz, and has always been rock-solid for me.

Don't worry about it killing you. I've been in and around
computers for over thirty years. It is just different and feels
much, much better.
I was inside Atari DOS and MS-DOS. I sort of had control of Win
3.1. W9x is nothing but hacks on hacks even though it claims to
be its own OS. Really all it does (appears to do at least) is add
ms-dos as a "shell" on the kernal to windows and then permit a
DOS clone to run under windows with only half of it being a part
of it.
W3.1 was almost a pure graphics shell to DOS and DOS the shell
to the BIOS. W9x touts itself as a native graphic shell to BIOS
but it fails miserably. I think that is because it insists upon
being backwards compatible with every successful kludge hack that
ever ran on DOS over version 3.
But where W3.1 was almost pure W9x is a bastard beyond belief.
Linux in terminal mode is a clean "dos" equivalent. Gnome is a
clean shell over it. KDE appears to be a bit of both but always
does so by running aps within a terminal shell so it never does
the same thing in two different ways as does W9x and as did a
couple things in W3.1.
Anyway, keep at it! Everything you learn is its own reward in
knowledge. I have seen nothing so far that is a hack in the OS
which means little at this point but I am sensitive to such
things after years of W.
What I have seen so far are alternate ways of doing things not
hack ways of doing things.

Hi Folks,
I have obtained a couple of 1990 Perceptive Solutions ISA EasyCache-Pro

the manufacturer, a '1200' sticker on one of the larger chips and 'Boot

I'm wondering if anyone can point me to drivers suitable for Linux (esp
Kernel Modules) or advice as to whether a generic driver would be

Can you build a serial cable? If so, you're in luck.
Search the Web for something called Network UPS Tools at
http://www.attrition.org/
Russell Kroll has the wiring diagram for the so
called "smart" APC UPS cable that APC charges $35 for. I built one to
use with my APC SMART-UPS 1000, and it has worked flawlessly under
both GameOS and Linux.
Quite comforting to know that even with the
fierce Texas thunderstorms, my computer will roll along for 15 minutes
even when everything else in the house is BLACK. Now if I could just
get something to protect my modem that won't degrade the connection
further..... I've already had two power failures where the line
voltage has gone to ZERO and the computers continue unaffected,
happily unaware that CoServe has dropped the ball again.
Cost me about $10 and some time. I also built another for one of my
friends that bought a smaller SMART-UPS, and he also has had no
problem. He leaves his PC on 24/7 and has enjoyed having the APC page
him when it loses power.
Good Luck!

It seems to be - I'm in the process of installing Slackware 7.0 on a
system with this SCSI adapter and I'm using the aic7xxx.s boot disk. On
booting up, the card is reported as having the AIC7892 chispet which is
compatible with the AHA 2940U2W, etc. I haven't finished the installation
yet but it seems to work OK - the kernel module is aic7xxx.o

RH6.1 certainly supports the AIC7xxx chipset used in the 2940 and its
variants and I'm fairly sure the same basic chipset is used in the new
29160 (and presumably the 19160 also) as I now have a 29160 working under
Slackware 7.0 using the aic7xxx.o kernel module.
I think it's a fairly safe bet to say the 19160 will work with RH6.1.

Thanks, but can you elaborate please? For instance, who makes this
"BP6"? I am presuming that this is a model number. I assume that you are
also saying that the board can be safely overclocked from 550 MHz to 733
MHz provided I use 500E Pentium II/III(? I lose track - there have been

I only feel stressed in work when I have to use Windows NT only.
Whenever possible I use Solaris and Linux applications to prevent
"Computer Rage", headaches and palputations.
I recently upgraded (if this is the right term!) to Windoze 2000. Within
4 hours, explorer crashed leaving me with no start bar, Internet
Explorer crashed before completely drawing it's window, despite Task
Manager saying it was running fine, eXceed crashed for the first time
ever in my experience and Visual Studio thinks the date is 1900 - way to
go! A reboot required after 4 hours uptime!

You may have something compiled in, in which case it will probably have
to go.
Do an 'lsmod' to see whats been autoloaded thats sound related, and get
rid of it with 'rmmod module_name'. Don't run sndconfig, it will mess
it up.
In your conf.modules file add this line at the bottom:
alias sound emu10k1
Then you can probably do the modprobe emu10k1 to get it started without
a reboot.
Thats how it works on a RH6.0 system at any rate. I get a small click
fairly early in the boot cycle, and another one late as it scans
(probably) rc3.d.
I have xmms on a x screen button, and it plays mp3's, wav's & cdroms great.
Its a decent card for the money IMO.
Cheers, Gene

You might try one of the floppy based Linux distributions (I've listed a few in
http://www.cygnus.com/~meissner/linux.html#Distributions) and not bother with a
hard drive.
Another thought if you are going to be buying hardware is to look at the
specialized firewall boxes. I know 3com has a firewall box in its office
connect series (and one of the listed features my office connect hubs is that
they don't have fans, so presumably the firewall doesn't either).
