Subject: PCI serial driver ready for testing.
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 1999 17:48:41 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
After a very long delay, caused by my being terminally busy at MIT, and
then changing jobs (I now work for VA Linux Systems), I've finally
gotten an update to the serial driver which supports PCI patches. It
can be found at:
http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/serial-4.30.tar.gz
This driver supports for the Oxford Semiconductor 16C950 UART, and good
collection of PCI boards (basically everything for which people have
sent me patches, or for which I've been able to get my hands on the PCI
serial cards; this includes the patches prepared by Otto Moerbeck, plus
some others).
I've tested this driver with ConnectTech, Sealevel, and GTek serial
boards, and it has support for the SPCom 200 and Keyspan boards as
well. I haven't tested the latter since I don't have the boards,
though.
The sources are designed to work on either 2.2 or 2.3 kernels, and as
shipped it comes with a Makefile which allows you to compile the
serial driver as a stand-alone module outside the kernel tree.
Alternatively, it should be pretty obvious how to copy the relevant
source files (serial.c, serialP.h, serial_reg.h, serial.h, etc.) into
the right places into the kernel, which will build the new serial
driver as part of 2.2 or 2.3 kernel.
I'd like to send an update of this driver to Linus fairly soon for
inclusion into the 2.3 mainline, so please send me any comments you
might have. In particular, if you have some other PCI serial boards
other than the ones supported by this driver, please send me the vendor,
device, subvendor, and subdevice id numbers, how the PCI board
interfaces to the system (mapped I/O memory, I/O ports) and what clock
is used to drive the UART (i.e., what base_baud setting is needed; some
drivers use a faster clock crystal which allows their ports to run at
speeds greater than 115200 bps).

Subject: Sing Along Disc Player v 2.1.1
Date: Thu, 2 Sep 1999 18:33:03 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Sing Along Disc Player (xsadp) version 2.1.1 is now available from its
usual location:
http://www.alphalink.com.au/~michg/ace/sadp
SADP is an advanced CD player available in X and text mode version.
Provide practically all features that you can expect from a CD player,
as well as extras: spectrum analyser, oscillator, built-in mixer, and
remote CD data bases support. X-version needs XForms 0.81+ to run.
The new version not only retrieves disc information from three CD data
bases, but allows to submit your disc data to remote CD data bases:
FreeDB and CD-INDEX. This is the first application that uses a
browserless submission to CD-INDEX. Because of CDDB restrictions, I had
to remove the part related to CDDB submission from the source,
however I don't regret much: xsadp is your chance to contribute to
commercial free CD data bases. Don't miss it!
Configuration script and 16-bit input support (better later than
never), 'gain' parameter for calibrating spectrum analyser bar width
are among other new features.
Console version is still awaiting its turn, hopefully not for long now.
Size of xsadp-2.1.1 is 200.4 K. You would still be able to fit it
into a double density 5.25' floppy, if you could find it somewhere :)
I wish to thank the users for their feedback. Practically xsadp would
not be like it is now without your cooperation.
Michael
