Turn off automatic termination. It sometimes guesses wrong. Instead,
manually set it. Since you have only one drive attached, the card
should be terminating the entire bus.
Check the cable length. With a single Fast/Wide device, you should be
able to use a cable that is up to 6m long. But if the drive isn't fully
compliant to the spec, you may have to use something shorter.
Since the device is old, it may not be properly negotatng the bus
speed. Try using the SCSISelect utility to force the bus to a slower
speed when talking to device ID 2. I'd pick the slowest (10M/s) speed
(which will really be 20M/s if the device has a wide interface.)

The device says it's SCSI-2 compliant, which is a good sign.
My guess is that it's either cable length or termination.

There is no support for that controller yet. I've seen one posting ,
where someone has reported , that he did get a alpha version of a driver
by mailing the Promise support.
If you need a supported IDE Raid now, try 3ware (www.3ware.com) The
driver is in standard kernel since 2.2.15 ( in the SCSI section ;):

Well, if you NEED a third ethernet card, then the NETGEAR FA310TX is a good
bet... some of the Davicom based cards work well too. (I've used both)... And
both of them cost right around $20 each (USD).
Apparently you're not the only one with this particular problem:

Subject: alternating between networking settings

I have a laptop, at home and work I have different network settings.
I'm tired of having to go into netconf (etc) and changing the settings
by hand. Is there any way of doing this automatically?
I could write a Perl script, but I'm a little unclear on which files
need to be altered, scripts need to be run, etc.
Anyone figured this out?

If your card is a SoundBlaster PCI 128, you'll need to recompile your
kernel with soundcard and Ensoniq ES1371 support compiled in[not
modules], and "joystick support at boot time" enabled.
Default port is 200.
Good luck.

I'm using a BJC 2000 here (not a 2100), using a 2.2.14 kernel with pnp
parallel port enabled. This setup probably works for the 2100 too.
In /etc/printcap I have an entry like
lp:lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/usr/spool/lp0:sh:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/printers/gsbjc2000-filter:
Where /usr/local/etc/printers/gsbjc2000-filter is:
====================<chainsaw here carefully>========================
#!/bin/sh
# supported parameters:
# MediaType=PlainPaper
# CoatedPaper
# TransparencyFilm
# Envelope
# Card
# Other
# PrintQuality=Low (only bjc800)
# Draft
# Normal
# High
exec gs -q -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=bjc800 -r360x360 \
-sMediaType=PlainPaper -sPrintQuality=Normal \
-sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- gamma.ps - quit.ps
====================<chainsaw here carefully>========================
Works as if it is a PostScript printer, the only drawback is that
you'll only have the 360x360 dpi resolution. The parameters used
are documented somewhere in the ghostscript docs.
Best,
Gunter

Yeah, it's called "Minix". Linux requires a 386 or higher on the x86
architecture, since protected-mode wasn't quite all there on the 286.
Minix is a Unix workalike, and was the original inspiration for Linux,
and it was recently made Free. I can't remember if you'll be able to
run a GUI or not, though....

Check the Promise web site; when I was thinking of buying one of these

...or just do:
rmmod es1371
insmod es1371 joystick=0x200
(Edit /etc/conf.modules to include the line
options es1371 joystick=0x200
and then joystick support will be turned on automagically when the sound

The joystick= parameter seems to be required for a number of sound cards
if you want joystick support.

This is what "cardctl" is for. Take a look in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
and you'll see a somewhat scary-looking file that is fairly well-
documented. You can set up as many schemes as you like--I have one for
home, and one for work--and I switch them with "cardctl scheme home" and
"cardctl scheme work". You can even set it up so that if your PCMCIA
card is inserted into slot 0, it uses "work" settings, and if it's in
slot 1, it uses "home" settings.
See the file itself for details; mine's a bit too long to post to Usenet.

Hello,
I need to get the above HP product to work with RedHat Linux 6.2 distro.
The HP people tell me that the WebJet Admin software is not supported
under this version so they were not able to help me with the problem I was
having with it. I understand that it can be setup manually, but I am not
sure as to how.
Any help that you provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bruce P. Morin

It shouldn't be. Linux is far more picky about library versions than
other operating systems.

I thought you just had to set an environment variable...?
