Hi,
For starters... Samba is file sharing for pc's only.
What you want is to install netatalk, create your new shares to match the
server being replaced, or however your going to lay it all out, then just
copy it all over accordingly.

I have obtained new information and update this and the 5700L entry:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=312297
One Dr H. T. Leung is making good progress toward a 5700L driver,
although it does not yet work.
The 5700 more or less works, using the usual PCL laserjet drivers.

And a little more since he seems to be having problems mounting the drive.

Make sure you have a mount point. Say, an empty directory at /mnt/cdrom/
Put in a regular (not audio, not blank) CD in the drive and try:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
(or wherever your mount point is)
and then a "dir /mnt/cdrom" to make sure it worked.
Now unmount it (umount /dev/scd0)
Go to /dev/ and do a "ls -l cdrom" and see what you get.
Probably a symbolic link to your ide drive!
Delete that and use:
ln -s scd0 cdrom
and
ls -l cdrom
to make sure you have now created a link to scd0 for cdrom.
Your audio cd player software is probably linked to /dev/cdrom so you need
that to point to the scsi (now) drive(r).
Then check your /etc/fstab table.
A good sort of entry (again, assuming your mount point is at
/mnt/cdrom/) is:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
(noauto since you probably won't have a disk in the CD drive usually when
you boot the system)
Reboot to get this fstab accepted and now try (with a data CD in the
drive):
mount /dev/cdrom
and check
/mnt/cdrom
and you should see it there.
OK ... umount it.
Try:
cdrecord -scanbus
to see if CDRECORD finds it.
Now check what device it is, suppose it is listed as 0,0,0
Put in a blank CD-R disk and try:
cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -atip
If everything is working, you should get info on the dye type and
manufacturer of this CD-R disk.
If everything is working, you can now mount (using "mount /dev/cdrom") the
drive, use it for playing audio CDs (assuming the audio cable is connected
to your sound card and that is working) and use it with cdrecord.

Need data. Saying "it doesn't work" isn't useful. The datapoint you
_have_ provided is the card. Thanks! Now we need to see your belief
confirmed with hard output from a program that probes the chipset.
TTThe card is supported, as far as I remember, so either you are using
the wrong driver, or you have configured the right driver wrongly.
The output from X -probeonly will tell us most of that. You might
also consider "X -showconfig" to let us see more driver-oriented info.
Check out such Xblah-HOWTOs as you can find. But this is a trivial
problem ... you can always use the VGA16 driver just to confirm taht
it's X and not your system that has the problem.

Hi,
I own a laptop without a serial port. However I would occasionally
like to use a graphics tablet which connects to a serial port.
Is it possible to map the serial port from another machine to the
laptop via a network?
TIA,

PS:
Another possibility would be to buy a USB2Serial adapter. However this
would be more expensive.

Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2000 14:27:46 +0200
Ok, first of all, don't shout at me that I'm using Outlook Express for
writing this... unfortunately, at the moment I have to... :(
So now to the problem. I've got a nifty configuration, ADAPTEC 29160N SCSI
card (Ultra160), IBM Ultrastar U160 SCSI hd.
Now the problem with these is that when I'm in a Dual Boot config with LILO
installed (Linux,W98) W98 won't start! It starts booting (Windows is
loading.....) then simply halts. I suppose that the driver for the SCSI card
is loaded in the windows boot loader residing in the boot block of the HD,
but that's where LILO is now. Linux has no problems at all and works
perfectly.
I need W98 for some programs though (Dreamweaver3 and Phtoshop 5) which are
simply too slow in VMWare on a virtual disk (as VMWare doesn't support SCSI
natively...).
Any ideas on what to do? (I don't want to use a boot disk because sometimes
I have to reboot very often)
And for now I'm stuck with this stupid Winblows for everything... duh. I'm
going to try out Win2K soon, I hope that will fix it, but it would be nice
to know a fix for the current situation, maybe I will be forced to go back
to 98 anyways.

Or the sync's are out of the screen's domain, or the resolution is too
high for the screen. Run the config-tools to select another screen (try
standards first - generic svga or something similar) and resolution.

Hi,
I have an AVA-1502AE. The aha152x driver works for it, but you have to
give the IRQ etc. parameters "by hand" (no autoconfiguration). I'm
loading the driver as a module and have the following entries in my
modules.conf:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
options aha152x aha152x=0x140,11,7,1,1
You have to change IO-address (0x140) and IRQ (11) to your jumper
settings. I can send you a scanned copy of the installation guide for
the AVA if you don't have one (1 page).
BTW: I use it for an iomega Jaz drive.

I am running 2 of these AMD K6-2 450 machines here at home. The kids
machine is running Win98 and Mandrake 7.0 and mine is running
Slackware 7 (previously Slackware 3.6, heavily upgraded) with no
problems.
I did find that at a minimum Mandrake 7.0 was required to recognize
the SiS530 video chip BUT networking was never an issue. The WinModem
is of course an issue BUT I have always used external modems so that
wasn't an issue for me.
If you are not using Mandrake 7 then the minimum kernel is V2.2.13 (I
think) in order for the Davicom LAN to be compiled without a patch
from the Davicom site. I am not sure on the minimum XFree86 required
for the SiS530 chip but a couple of searches on dejanews should find
it ... I do know that Mandrake 7.0 was the first standard XFree86 that
worked.
Good luck! I do find it to be a good all-round and inexpensive mother
board.

Date: Sun, 03 Sep 2000 16:45:52 +0100
Hi,
I can't get my sound to work under Red Hat 6.0
(kernel 2.2.5.?? )
Sound Card manual says its a:
"Multimedia PRO 16IIA-3D" and supports Adlib,
Sound blaster Pro, and MS/WSS. Win 98 uses a driver
called "Aztech Sound Galaxy Washington 16"
sndconfig does not detect a PnP card with or without
the Bios PnP OS flag set.
First I tried selecting the Aztech Sound Galaxy, but get
"invalid parameter mpu_io", and looking in the driver
code, there seems to be no reference to this option, so
I try and remove it from my conf.modules, but then I
get "Device or resource busy". I selected the same IRQs
etc. as Win 98 uses.
I then try Sound Blaster. I get no error messages, but no
sound.
I then try Adlib. This produces a sound while testing my
midi but I can't play any sound.
Windows Sound System driver also gives me the
message "Device or resource busy"
I have also tried the ALSA sb8 and sb16 drivers, but
couldn't get these to work either.
Can anyone suggest which driver I should use and how
to get it to work
thanks
Malcolm.

Thank you for the info, I've got Mandrake 7.1 installed and it did not
pick up the built in network card up. When I run the network config I
can pick a kernel module for eth0, is th davicom driver listed ?
Maybe I missed something during the automated install ???
Is there anything I can do other than a complete re-install ?
The drivers I downloaded from Amptron don't compile correctly.
