have a look here :
http://www.sleepie.demon.co.uk/ncr53c710/index.html
on EISA machine's (a proliant 1000 is EISA) you would do :
insmod sim710 sim710=addr:0x7000,irq=15
if the eisa card is inserted inside slot 7. its also immediate the IO
address on a EISA machine, so i've been told. Before doing this
run the eisa config from floppy and check with configure computer
en details which resources the SCSI controller uses and inside which
slot number its reported.

Thank you for your expertise in e-mail. I have noticed these strings of
digits and could clearly see that they were some sort of delimiters but
did not fully understand them.
It also appears -- after some further research -- the they seem to have
confused the MIME format with MIME encoding (either quotable printable
or base64)
I am not all that happy with Netscape Messenger but I need a smart
reader.
The THOR feature sounds quite useful. With Netscape you have to open a
separate window to see the "raw" message.

Nope.
That's what it looks like to a minimal (but standards compliant) newsreader when
you send a vCard at all. Plain text has nothing to do with it; a vCard is a
specific layout imbedded in a MIME section, which of course requires that the
entire message be imbedded in MIME sections.
Turn of vCard, and you'll be able to lose the MIME

Yes, I have one and it works.
For full support, you need a Kernel with "IDE/ATAPI Floppy" support built in.
There is one quirk. ZIP disks use partition 4. Therefore, if you add it as
the slave on the secondary IDE channel (ide1). On the same ribbon cable as
your CD-ROM. It will be "/dev/hdd4"

I would guess that "mtools" knows nothing about a 120M floppy. Perhaps,
you could tell it, but I don't know.
It is best to treat it as a hard disk and add it to "fstab" as such. I
think that it might use partition 4 like a ZIP does.
For full support, you need a Kernel with "IDE/ATAPI Floppy" support
built in.
I have my own custom built Kernel and don't know what various
distributions include.

Pizza et al:
Thanks for the info. I was able to get the machine to recognize the
SCSI drive using the /sbin/modprobe command. Afterwards, I checked the
"/etc/conf.modules" file for the "alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx"
line. The "alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx" line was already in my
/etc/conf.modules file. Each time I reboot I am forced to issue the
/sbin/modprobe command in order for the machine to recognize my SCSI
card and Jaz drive. It seems like I am missing something to get the
machine to automatically recognize the SCSI card at boot up. Any help
is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
My pc has two hard discs: disk 1 for windows 98, disk 2 for linux (debian).
I have always accessed disk 1 from linux with the command "mount /dev/hda1"
(as root) with the corresponding line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /win vfat defaults 0 2
Now disk 1 has been replaced by a larger one which has had to be partitioned
into two parts, known to windows 98 as drive C: and drive D:.
Now the mount command as above accesses C: but not D:. How can I access
D: from linux?

Well, presumably since D is immediately after C, then ___ is

Support for many USB devices (modems etc) is present in 2.4 kernels and
2.2.18
For dialtone - read modems manual and program it accordingly to your
dialtone or disable its detection - usually with minicom and write following
AT commands to modems port:
AT&F - reset modem
ATX0 - disable dialtone/busy detection
AT&W - store it in power-on profile
Power off and on
ATDT1 - check if it is dialing blind
Or omit all above and use an initialization string AT&FX0 for modem if you
don't want to reprogram your modem
Or have a look at windows .inf file and look for string "blind_on" and code
after it is right one to use in place of my X0

check this:
How do I install Linux on my KT7-RAID?
This is based on installing Linux on a KT7-RAID using a 2.4.0-test
kernel. Thanks to Dènis Riedijk for this contribution (any questions to
him not me please!)
Connect HD to the normal IDE controller
Install Linux
Boot Linux
Get source to a recent kernel (I used 2.4.0-test8) & install version
2.3.15 of modutils
Configure the kernel (make xconfig / make menuconfig / make config). A
config file is available here, save as .config in your kernel source
directory. Make sure to include: HPT366 support
Boot offboard chipset first support
USB support if you want it
other USB options. (for example see the config file above)
If you have a MS Intellimouse Explorer, and want to use all 7 buttons,
use this version of mousedev.c (put it in the drivers/input directory of
your kernel source) instead of the standard one in 2.4.0-test8 (this may
be unneeded for later kernels)
If you want to use a USB mouse, make sure gpm will not run when booting
up (in /etc/init.d in RedHat) otherwise, your keyboard will not function
anymore
Make clean dep bzImage modules
Become root
Make modules_install
Copy arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/2.4.0-test8
Edit /etc/lilo.conf
Copy from the standard kernel change /boot/linux to /boot/2.4.0-test8
(do not change the default setting yet)
Run lilo
Shut down
Plug cable to HD on the Highpoint controller
Boot, press <DEL> change bootup device to ATA100RAID
Boot, press <CTRL + H> to enter highpoint BIOS, set mode to the right
one, set the disk to boot
Boot, on the lilo prompt type 2.4.0-test8 ide=reverse
The kernel will now boot, if everything is alright. Your CDROM will be
another device (For example : hdc -> hdg, hdd -> hdh) because the
onboard controllers will now be ide2 & ide3. So change your fstab
accordingly
If you feel alright with the settings, change /etc/lilo.conf, set 2.4.0-
test8 as default, and add a line append="ide-reverse" below the line
default-2.4.0-test8. Here is an example lilo.conf
Run lilo, and don't forget to compile HPT366 & Boot offboard chipsets
first support into the kernel, in each new kernel you compile.
Getting your usbmouse recognised upon use.
Run makedev /dev/input/mice 13 63 (CHECK NUMBERS)
Edit /etc/modules.conf
Add the following , or copy from this[modules.conf] one:
alias char-major-13 explorerusb
alias explorerusb usb-uhci
post-install usb-uhci modprobe mousedev
post-install mousedev modprobe hid
Run depmod -a. Make sure there is no mention of unresolved symbols.
Now your mouse will be recognised when needed
