There are two solutions (I havn't tried them - just read about them): a) upgrade to the latest kernels (2.1.??) and use parport which can share the parallel port. In fact you may be able to patch the 2.0 kernels - have a look on the Linux Zip drive site. b) compile the printer driver as a module (lp.o) and compile the zip driver as a module. If you want to print, do modprobe lp.o. Then if you want to use the zip drive, do rmmod lp.o modprobe scsi.o?

In Readme.cards, it says: MV Jazz (ProSonic) -- The Jazz16 driver is just a hack made to the SB Pro driver. However it works fairly well. You have to enable SB, SB Pro (_not_ SB16) and MPU401 supports when configuring the driver. The configuration program asks later if you want support for MV Jazz16 based cards (after asking SB base address). Answer 'y' here and the driver asks the second (16 bit) DMA channel. The Jazz16 driver uses the MPU401 driver in a way which will cause problems if you have another MPU401 compatible card. In this case you must give address of the Jazz16 based MPU401 interface when the config program prompts for the MPU401 information. Then look at the MPU401 specific section for instructions about configuring more than one MPU401 cards. This file isn't exactly accurate with the latest kernels, but it would look like SB_MPU_BASE=0 SB_MPU_IRQ=-1 may not be the correct responses for a Jazz16 card. Also CONFIG_ADLIB=y is probably not the correct response, either. I'm using a SB16 card and /dev/sndstat doesn't show any midi device either, but playmidi works (poorly) with this setup. There seem to be many missing voices. Timidity, which converts the .mid files to .wav format and uses GUS patch files, sounds much better on my hardware. cheers, Bob Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

This sort of thing is a good reason to buy OSS/Linux (hi George!) OSS/Free is incredibly messy when it comes to some sound cards. Before I simplified my life by buying an SB16, I used a PAS16, which was messy because it had the SB as well as the 16 bit PAS section, although it wasn't too bad. But I had an MPU401 card as well to drive a wavetable add on board. Then I had a Galaxy card, which was either SBPro or WSS, more MPU401 complications etc. Whilst in OSS/Linux, you just had to pick this card and it worked. The Galaxy has some weird soft configuration stuff too. Even plain old SB16 requires setting the MPU_IRQ to -1 or something, when menuconfig is working properly. Frankly the free sound situation is pretty messy, and I'm almost angry.

WordProcessor + SoundCard + ZIP PRINTING
Hi. Do you know if there is any good word processor for Linux? (I mean like WordPerfect, or, at least, like windoze WordPad). If so, where can I find it? I also have another question. I finally recompiled the kernel (I needed it to support my soundcard). When finally I could recompile the kernel with a normal size, etc., I see that I can't hear anything through my speakers. The computer does as if the soundcard were recognized (for example, when I type bplay sound.au or cat sound.au /dev/audio it does like if it were reproducing the sound. But I can't hear anything. It's not a speakers problem or even a hardware problem. It's software. My soundcard is a Logitech SoundMan Wave, fully compatible with SoundBlaster16 with MPU/OPL4 OPL2/OPL3 (or something similar). The adresses: I/O: _220_ (can be 230, 240 or 260, IRQ: _7_ (can be 3,5,7), DMA:_1_ (can be 1,5, (7)). And another question! I use a Iomega Zip 100MB parallel port drive. I can use it with fstab, but I cannot print having this drive connected to the parallel port. I've heard that there's a patch or something that you can use the printer and the Zip.

You can buy a WordPerfect version for Linux. Applixware is a WYSIWYG word processor that you can also buy (I don't know where to get either, maybe try linuxmall.com or cheapbytes.com). If you are looking to produce a typeset document, you might want to look into the LyX frontend for LaTeX. This will generally produce better results than word processors. Or if you are writing something that does _not_ need to be typeset, you might want to keep it text: look into text editors, such as Emacs and vi. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
