 Audio worked with hiro's drawterm and intel hda in 9front.

since you mention the host's hardware, i'm a little confused.  the host's
hardware doesn't make any difference.  it's drawterm's bridge between
#A and the host's audio device that's the question.  has someone
done this for os-x?  if so, where's the code?

Re: [9fans] GSOC proposal for plan9

 [3]. Should avoid the patent issue of the K42 system.
 [Yan] For this problem, I do not have any idea right now. Do we need to
 propose a different solution (from K42's MCS lock), but solve the same
 problem (do not need to pass node data structure in the parameter)?

of course the simplist version of this is allocating Qnodes internally.
this can be done locklessly because held locks cannot switch Mach.
alternatively, since we *can* modify the definition of the the structure
Lock, MAXMACH Qnodes could be part of the lock.

i'm sure that you'll have good ideas on this, too.

Reading your mails, I recommend you to read carefully and patiently all
the docs in /says/doc, the man pages, starting with the intros, the great
info in cat-v.org and of course the wiki!

Don't forget searching in the mail archive, you'll see a lot of info
about the things you are asking for (including my newbie's questions through
the last year).

Enjoy the little bunny!

Isn't it a variant of the version (almost) supported? There were sone issues at 
fast speed, but I believe it is there in the distro.

 Hi,
 today I've tried to boot plan9 on my computer. Sadly withou a success.
 I'm attaching screenshot of my computer after typing ctrl+t ctrl+t p.
 
 Do you know is going on? How can I fix it? I woud like to run Plan 9
 before 21.03 in order to see how it's working and put an application to some
 of the GSoC project :)

well, it looks like it can't find anything in #S, which is the generic disk
driver.  this means your hardware wasn't recognized.  if you can boot
the 9atom usb installer, even if you can't see the disks, maybe we can
see what's wrong.  i'd like to see the output of pci|grep disk.

the usb installer is here

http://ftp.9atom.org/other/+usbinstamd64.bz2

just bunzip2 the image, and dd the result to a usb stick that's at least
512MB.

this information should give enough information to yield a patch
to the distribution, and will satisfy gsoc by itself.
