HCF, HSP, host-based, controllerless, 'Windows 95 & better required' - all
these are software modems, or 'winmodems'. HSP means 'Host Signal
Processing' - that means that board doesn't even know to do
modulation/demodulation,and that is what modem ( i.e MOdulator/DEModulator)
is supposed to do, this function is performed by the CPU instead. The board
performs only the line interfacing functions in hardware - e.g producing &
receiving the right voltages, doing on-hooks & off-hooks & so on.
Although, there are Linux drivers for some 'winmodems', so those are
sometimes called 'linmodems'.

Perhaps this is the place for me to seek some enlightenment, too.
I'm running RH6.0 with a 2.2.16 kernel. A friend has offered me a HP-IIP scanner
that he no longer uses, along with the interface card that "came with it". I
already have an Adaptec 2940 installed, running a DAT tape drive. Will the
scanner work with the Adaptec SCSI card? What other software will I need to scan
images? Is there any OCR software available for Linux that will work with this
combination?
TIA

SYSTEM: ====================================================
Motherboard is EPOX EP-7KXA w/Athlon 700Mhz, KX-133 chipset
128M PC133 memory, ATI128 AGP/4X video,
Quantum Fireball CX13.0GB (UDMA66) , ATAPI CDROM, ATAPI ZIP
IDE CONFIGURATION: =========================================
Quantum Fireball is only device on ide0 , using 80pin cable
BIOS has UDMA66 enabled for hda, auto for all others
SYMPTOM: ====================================================
When secondary controller in BIOS is enabled, the primary
interface fails to function properly.
For the secondary connector, I have tried:
1) only CDROM(as master)
2) only ZIP(as master)
3) no physical connection (cable unplugged)
All three produce the exact same problem. I'm running kernel 2.2.16
and have also tried linux-2.4.0-test5.

boot proceeds normally , then culminates in a kernel panic, as it
cannot find a foot filesys. Kernel complains about seeing a hard

When I disable the secondary controller, things run fine.

linux-2.4.0-test5 has the same problem, but it reports the controller

for them ???

Does this happen in any other OS? I would hazard to say it sounds like a
hardware problem more then anything software. Try booting off a DoS boot
disk or something like that and accessing your drives.

I have had 0 problem in getting my SparQ drive to work under Linux. In fact,
when I was going Distro crazy, I actually ran FROM the SparQ. Hooked it up,
loaded the OS onto the SparQ and just experimented that way. Linux will
look at it as just another IDE drive. Just remember to umount the drive
before trying to switch discs or you will get more media messages then you
care to even think about. Good Luck.

Subject: Setup RH6.2 with Abit BP6-II
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 12:00:46 +0800
Reply-To: "Jimmy Lee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have some questions about the hardware setup with RedHat Linux 6.2. Here
is my hardware configuration.
Mainborad: Abit BE6-II (w/High point 366 UDMA 66 ver.)
CPU: Pentium III 500MHz (FC-PGA w/Abit Slocket)
RAM: KingMax PC133 128MB
Hard disk: IBM UDMA 66 20MB (connected at UDMA Primary Master channel,
choose as second boot device in bios)
CD-Rom: 50x IDE (conneted at IDE Primary Master channel, choose as third
boot device in bios)
Display: nVidia TNT Vanta 8MB
Sound Card: Creative PCI 128 Vibar
LAN Card: 3COM 3C905C-TX
MODEM: ZOOM dual mode external
Others: Floppy drive, Keyboard, Mouse, 15" CRT Monitor
My questions are:
1. I cannot install the RH6.2 with floppy boot disk. In the screen choose
setup options (Server, Workstatiom, Custom ...), the installation program
says it cannot find any disk device (forgot the message, but I guess missing
the UDMA driver) to instll.
2. I cannot config my nVidia Nanta (8MB, AGP) version to work with any X
environment.
3. I cannot config my sound card to work with any Linux. I can locate the
information about the sound card under Turbo Linux KDE config/PCI
inofmration (IRQ 11, I/O 0xc800). The sound card is using the Creative
chipset.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Did you first see if you could get your graphics
card up and running with the Xfree86 supplied Nvidia driver?
This is almost a must. Then when that works try to install the
nvidia drivers according to the nvidia instructions.
I run a GeForce 2 gts and XFree86 4.0. I at first had a tnt2 card
in the box before I changed to the geforce. Pulled the tnt2 out
put the Geforce in and it worked first time. Please note that the
drivers supplied with the XFree86 4.0 did not support the Geforce 2.

In theory, no. 32bit colour on an 800x600 screen will only take 2Mb of
video memory. IIRC, you can't get better than 32bit colour, so 2Mb is
the _most_ memory you would use on the card.
The only caveat I can think of is p'haps you use animation sw that
would use the extra space for animation buffers (i.e. page toggling,
etc.). If so, then I don't know what the limit is.

Specifically, model 3CP2977-OEM-50
I have one and it works fine.
See: http://www.linhardware.com/db/dispproduct.php3?DISP?1978 for modem info.
This is a PCI modem, but setting it up isn't hard, or you could apply the latest
serial patch.. Without Kernel support, you need an "rc.serial" similar to the
attached. Replace "????" with the I/O address that the modem is using. Run
"cat /proc/pci" or "lspci -v" as root to find this out.

If it's the same one I have, it's a perfectly normal scsi scanner. No
problems. Of course you have to throw away the lobotomized half-a-scsi
controller card that comes with it (it's most of an ncr5x...) and use
a real controller. I use a cheap $20 symbios 8bit card.

I've never been able to comprehend the sane docs. Maybe it's time I
looked at them again. But the hpscanbpm utility has always worked fine
for me (good with tkscan!) and so I've never had the incentive.

Indeed.

Yes. None if it's a scsi scaner (they support a minimal set of
commands).

Oh! OCR. That's a different proprietary story. It's all in software, of
course.
