Hello,
I'm looking for cards (PCMCIA and PCI) with IEEE1394 (firewire) input

I project to use these cards with SONY(IEEE 1394) camera.
Has anybody some addresses ?

I have the same problem here. If the standard scsi bus is removed from
the machine, the hp works okay. Thats how I got into the problem. I
bought the scsi card after I had implemented the ide-scsi. Its mostly
the apps that can't handle scsi hosts quite right I think.
I contacted a chap a [EMAIL PROTECTED] who replied with the following:
Whew, what a question. I guess there should be a way...

I am not familiar with RH, so someone can correct me here,

1. # su root (it will ask for the password)

So, is it reasonable to presume that flashing the BIOS on a BP6 board with
both processors installed fixes the lockup problem? Or does this just make
the problem less serious, without completely fixing it?

Addendum to previous response about using COM2 and IRQ3
if it is not being used on the motherboard.
I had an experience where I wanted to use my modem on
COM2 and found that it had conflicted with the one of the
serial ports on my mother board.
Many motherboards come with two built in serial ports. COM1
is mostly used for the mouse. The other port, I believe can be
used as COM2 or 3 or 4. But if you are not using it for any
purpose, it can be disabled in the bios and thus not
create a conflict with you internal modem, which can then
use the same port assignment.

Did you check option scsi-generic ?
I had HP 7200i and it worked very well. And if I made mistakes in the kernel
configuration there were problems with this drive.

If you are curious you might try running a bunch of apps in
XWindows and compiling and see what happens(like if you
are surfing the web at the same time for instance.) You may
see more benefit in situations where you use the CPU cycles
that have been offloaded to the udma. IOW, if you run some
benchmarks you might not see that much of a difference in
file transfer, but you should notice a big drop in CPU utilization
by using udma. This leaves the CPU free to do other stuff.
OTOH, if all you do is run pico in text mode then you can probably
use a 16 MHZ 386 just as well. :)

Works AOK for me. I think that the SCSI card that comes with the beast is a
non-starter though, however if you attach it to a proper SCSI card it works
fine. As I'm writing this from work I can't check up my resource files right
now.
I have occasionally known it to just "drop off" the bus, but not lately.

Some older cdroms just cannot read cdrw discs. Can you read any cdrw
disk in that drive?

not relevant, since you did not use UDF to write the cd.

If it's your cdrom drive, then your only option is to get another, or
try reburning the cdrw onto a cdr and see if that works.

Can you tell me which version of sane you are using ?
actually I have an adaptec 2904 scsi card which work fine with a cd-writer,
the scanner and the cd-writer work fine under windows but my linux
box (Mandrake 7.0) doesn't recognize the scanner. It detects a scanner but
cannot recognize it. I have installed the latest version of sane (1.02),
compiled it
but when I launch xscanimage or scanimage, it doesn't find any scanner.

I don't use RedHat but the standard xf86config script (Or something like
that) takes you step by step through the detection process. The most
important thing is to look either at a monitor specification that
matches yours, or look in the monitor manual to find the V and H
settings. That way the script can calculate the correct start values.
after you get a picture you can use xvidtune to make fine adjustments
and update your XF86Config file accordingly. Might want to look through
the HOW-TO for XFree86, before you start screwing around and make a
backup copy of the XF86Config just in case you mess up the file.
Flickering screen is better than no screen :) (Still read the howto,
there are a lot of fun things you can do with it, that may not be clear
right away, esp how to end it if things go wrong).

In Winblows, Aureal's latest drivers appear to fix this problem. I can
now play MP3s or whatever for as long as I want without problems. But
in Linux, the problem still exists. I have tried both the Aureal
1.0.5 drivers (from linux.aureal.com) and the 1.0.5 bpl1 drivers (from
http://www.geocities.com/bofh_666/) and I'm still seeing the same
problem. If anything, the bpl drivers seem to delay the freeze, but
ultimately don't prevent it.
Has anyone else had this problem? Someone in another post mentioned
that this may be the SoundBlaster emulation causing the lock-ups. Can
this be disabled in Linux?
Thanks,
Steve
