Sorry. I understood your note as saying this read/write random access
format to be perhaps ISO9660. I misunderstood.

As I stated later in my note, the format used by Adaptec is UDF, which
is in Linux kernel 2.3.99something, experimental capability, I think.

I have a Gigabyte GA-5AA (AT version of the GA-5AX) and an AMD K5-2 500.
I too found Windows very flaky, and even Linux froze occasionally. I had
enabled the K6-2 Write Allocate feature in the BIOS settings, thinking
this was the correct thing to do. I disabled it and noticed that when
booting Linux it displays the following:

Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 12:17:01 -0700
Hello:
I've just installed RHL 6.2 on my new system last night, and for the
most part it was the easiest installation I've ever experienced. Despite
having a bunch of "no-name" equipment, it worked great. Even X (with
GNOME) came up beautifully and didn't flake on me. And I was truly
amazed that I hadn't needed to tweak around settings to access the
Internet.
But alas, I now need to go through the challenge of getting sound
enabled. I have the capability of enabling SB compatibility, but I don't
have a true SB soundcard.
What I have is a Tek P5M4-M+ motherboard that houses the Via Apollo MVP4
chipset. According to the documentation describing the South Bridge
portion of the chipset, it has "integrated SoundBlaster/DirectSound AC97
audio" built-in.
I have an AMR riser with a device that, thus far, I've been unable to
identify if it's a modem/sound card combo. The device I have lists as
56AMR/SL-CTR21. I've checked out some fo the search engines and haven't
had much luck finding documentation for this.
I've read that the latest stable release of ALSA drivers has AC-97
support, but can someone tell me specifically what the things are that I
should watch out for when attempting to get sound to work? I'd
appreciate any assistance. Thanks very much.
Regards,
Velanche Stewart

Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 20:45:01 GMT
Greetings all!
I am in the process of trying to figure out what hardware I should buy to
obtain the highest performance/price ratio I can for a Linux based system.
This is needed to run single-threaded, floating-point and memory
intensive jobs, the kind of work that doesn't really gain much from
clustering. We DO want some level of SMP, however, in order to allow
more than one person to run jobs on the system without affecting the
overall performance too much.
Right now, I think the choice comes down to a 2 way Alpha/667/4MB system
or a 4 way Xeon/550/1MB system, both with 4GB of ram. The prices for
similarily configured machines are about the same, it seems (~$25000
USD). Unfortunately I do NOT have much experience with these kinds of
high end systems, so if there are some alternatives I am not aware of, I
would appreciate any pointers.
Also, this question is for the Alpha knowledgeable people. What is the
fastest Alpha system one can buy today? I see there are a number of
different cpu's, ranging from about 467 to 750 mhz, with various 2nd level
cache sizes. Which one do I pick for optimium fp performance, and that
support at least 4GB of ram, in an SMP configuration?
Thanks very much!

I've RH 6.1 installed on two AST Mahattan Vs at work. Nothing special to
do, but we're using the builtin SCSI stuff and it's not RAID. I've got
RH 6.1 installed on a dual 400 with a Mylex Acceleraid (DAC family) at
home and again no problems, just plug and chug.
If you're going to have a problem, it's with the Mylex RAID controller. If
it's an older unit, the current driver will not work. Go to www.dandelion.com
read up on which of the Mylex boards the DAC960 driver works with. Note that
the DAC960 driver is NOT a SCSI, but a BLOCK driver and that you need to set
up you're RAID configuration from DOS (or whatever), not Linux (yet).

Have a look at a program called lircd. This lets you use some IR controllers
- I don't know if the one you mention is supported. Search for it on
Freshmeat.net and you'll find it.
