Re: [Emc-users] the Intel D510MO problem (and an apology to Don Stanley, et al.)

I think that some Intel people are on LKML. One of them could probably help. If you can't find any email addresses there, maybe grep the kernel source for @intel Mark On Nov 13, 2010 4:41 PM, "Kent A. Reed" wrote: > On 11/13/2010 5:59 AM, Andy Pugh wrote: >> On 13 November 2010 01:50, Jeff Epler

Thanks to a bunch of loaned parts--D510MO from Kent, Pico PPMC from Stuart, and Mesa 7i43 from Seb--I was able to get them working together. The solution--to look for the parport extended configuration register where it is likely to be--is more in the vein of a workaround than a fix, but it does g

Hi Kent, Jon and All; Thanks for your apology but the Motherboard has apparently worked well for many; and for me also now. Let me share a few of my similar experiences. For the last 40 years my experience has been: If there is a program with a Bug, it is in the part I need. If there is a electro
