He's using the ide-scsi module, so the SCSI subsystem is what's
accessing the drive, even though the physical interface is IDE.

So instead of telling him the proper way to do things, you give him a band-
aid solution. If this person does do things the way you suggest and does
each partition one at a time, he'll be re-booting his system about half a
dozen times or so!
You talk about wasted time and energy telling the guy how to do it properly,
yet you spend all this time telling everybody about the one extreme case where
the guy could possibly damage his partition table?
I've written out complete instructions for somebody to add a 2nd HDD in about
30 lines or so. I reference man pages, and the occasional HOWTO for further
assistance.
People often complain about Usenet not being a helpful, worthwhile place
to ask for assistance; and even you complained (removed from this quote)
about message quoting etiquette!
Usenet can only be a valid source of information if people give helpful,
worthy, straight-forward information rather than complaining and quoting
could-be's and what-if's.
In a word, sir, your response was the furthest thing from helpful; and
the closest thing to further the Usenet stereotypes of worthless responses
that lead to arguments and/or flame-fests that deter from the original
topic at hand.

Simon,
I probably had the same internal modem as you. It has no
jumpers on the card to set, and I couldn't get it to work under RH6.2.
I returned it and purchased a 3Com U.S.Robotics 3CP5610A internal
modem. No problem setting it up. It will work under MS Windows and
Linux.

This USR 3CP5610A modem is NOT a winmodem. Its a hardware modem.
http://www.grapevine.net/~gromitkc/pedersen.txt
This link has info on configuring it. This modem is also listed on this
page:
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
as one of the 4 control-based pci modems that will work with linux.
This would be the reason I bought the thing. Having said all this, I've
had the modem for 4 days and still havent gotten it to work :-) Since
its not a winmodem, and is linux compatable, it must be something else
I'm doing wrong. Maybe the above sites will help someone else. I've
tried the things they listed and still have had no luck. Anyone have
any suggestions?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi there,
I am searching for a graphical tool like kdat to access a scsi hp 34580
dat streamer. Is there such a program out there (and it is not kdat
since I do not use Qt or kde at all) ?
I am not looking for a program like arkeia which is in my opinion a
little overkill for just accessing a local streamer.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greetings

Does anyone here have any experience attaching more than four IDE devices
on a linux/FreeBSD machine? My dept ordered a SIIG Ultra ATA/100 card that
seems to work only with Windows.
Any pointers to info would be greatly appreciated.

I have found it necessary to switch to a non-X terminal (Crt-Alt-F2,
e.g.), then to use the Fn key to switch to the projector, and then to use
Alt-F7 to return to the X screen. But that might be a function of my X
driver.

The kernel that RH 6.1 shipped with (2.2.12-something) could not handle
IDE drives over 32G thanks to a bug in the code. Upgrade your kernel!

Your problem depends of your modem's builder.
Only some modem can be used under Linux with or without particular drivers.
Your can see a very good list of all the modem and their possibilities on :

Hi Alex,
Do you Russian occasionally? I am Russian and live in Canada now.
So, about IEEE1394 interface and Camcorder. I have ieee1394 from
http://www.dazzle.com and Sony DCR TVR720 camcorder. At the moment I use
linux2.4-test4 and it works for me pretty well. I able to download film
from camcorder and check it (not watch as decoding slow - decoder not
optimized yet).
There is drivers for DRX2/3 and Sigma decoder available around but I
did not test it as I do not have available slots in computer. There is a
few programs for process DVideo and some of then free. At the moment if
I am not mistaken only MainActor (not free) able to work with DVideo but
expected that in August Broadcast2000 (free) will support DVideo as
well. Biggest problem at the moment is that "it is impossible to put
film back on DV camcorder". At least I did not find software for that
although this world change so fast that I could just miss announcement.
I would like to hear from you if you will get new info which I do not
have

Now almost all working. From camcorder I can get more real colors at
night time but still not exact. I able download film with dvgrab and it
work well after modification of kernel to increase buffer size. I observ
some problem with downloading film in Windows - I miss some frames but I
guess that it related to my PII 350Mhz which is not fast enough.
Optimization of Windows system disk help a lot but still at uploading
mounted film to camcorder I hear some supastisios clicks. I believe that
most people will not remark it (as my wife do) but I'd like to get
better result. Hope that upgrade to new CPU and may be add 128MB of

ieee1394 configured and works
dvgrab/Capture/MainActor/Broadcast
System works well enough although I use beta drivers and some software.
I able load/scan/print pictures at photo quality same as I get in
Windows.
I tried to find a way to grab a film which I did on my camcorder in
Linux and I did not had a luck till now. I can grab video strait from
camcorder in online mode but not from tape. dgrab can produce two types
of files one of them supported by MainActor software second one should
be able to be shown by xdvideo (do not remember exact name as I was not
able to compile it - need to fix it for RedHat which I use now). I did
not try Capture software yet to play this video file back but plan to do
so.
I believe that there are people who try to do the same things and I
would be very appreciate it they post here or email me to share their
experience in Digital Video World.
On another computer I have Hauppage WinTV DBX video card which suppose
support video capture and I plan try it one day but for now I am more
interested in getting new technologies to work for Linux like ieee1394
(FireWire) and DigitalCamcoder.
Unfortunately I found that Digital Camcorder which I have not able to
reproduce real colors indoor when you shoot from distance 25 and more
meters - it stall colors. Same happens when I film events like fireworks
- it stall colors of firework - there is no difference between blue, red
and green or it very small. Still film can be very interesting but
missing real colors. Night mode doesn't have a sense for case like this.
Ok, it is more about limits of cameras and hardware and I'd like to get
recommendation for hardware from people for whom it is hobby or
profession.
I will happy to contact people who has same area of interests like me to
exchange by information similar character and beyond of that my hobby
are - radio constructing an communications, gliders, paragliding,
deltaplan, mountain hiking, Linux and programming especially UNIX
system/network/graphic and OOP.
Hope to hear soon from you experts and hope that many of you will became
my friend
Thanks all of you for any answer and help

in general,
