I have a an AHA-1740 running on an Elitegroup SL486VE EISA/VLB Board
since 1993.
Works fine under Linux, DOS, WfW 3.11 and WIN95. The 1740 came with BIOS
1.21
and later I upgraded to BIOS 1.40 which has support for extended
mappings up
to 8GB.
I strongly recommend to use the AHA-1740 in enhanced mode! Then you can
use
the aha1740.c driver of your linux kernel. Never had any problems from
kernel
0.99pl15 up to kernel 2.0.32 that I'm using now.

Because they're kind of a pain in the rear. Essentially you have two devices
that do the same thing, but in different directions. The goal is to merge
that all back into one device file as common sense dictates.

Yup. And the thing to remember is that this is on the 2.0 kernels, not the 2.2.
Also remember that the current 2.2-pre kernels (for the most part) are still
2.1 in disguise.... From the Documentation/Changes files of a 2.2-pre kernel:
Also, please remember that cua* devices are now obsolete. Switch to
the corresponding ttyS* device instead (e.g., cua0 -> ttyS0, cua1 ->
ttyS1, etc.).
In addition, some software still works, but needs to be compiled
against 2.1 headers for complete functionality. Fdutils binaries
compiled under 2.0 or earlier kernels should be replaced with ones
compiled under 2.1, for example.
So. It looks like if you wait for a distrib with the 2.2 kernel (RH 6.0?),
then you shouldn't have too many problems. If you're impatient, you'll need
to recompile some stuff and make sure the configs point to ttyS? instead of
cua?.

Why not? The latest is not always the greatest, and certainly not always the
best option. I know of a few machines up at school that are still running 1.2
kernels because they don't need any of the features 2.0 brought to the table
and I imagine they'll be running 1.2 for a while even after 2.2 makes it
debut. :) The source for the old kernels is still available even if most of
the world is no longer using them....
At any rate, you should upgrade when you need to instead of when the rest of
the herd does. :-)
> The Serial Howto still refers to cua ports. So that's not much help.
Yup. Once again, the 2.2-pre aren't technically stable yet, so there's no
real call to update the documentation just yet. Hang in there....I imagine
that you'll have docs dealing with 2.2 kernels when it finally gets released.
:-)
Take it easy,

Here's a clue for you. Computer viruses have been around long before ms-dos/
windows. Even UNIX was around before ms-dos/windows. So the statement should
probably be that a UNIX type virus really wouldn't work under MS-DOS/Windows.
Of course, going beyond that, a mainframe virus wouldn't work on either MS-DOS
Windows nor on UNIX. So just because a MS-DOS/Windows virus doesn't work on
UNIX doesn't mean that they don't exist.
Also a virus is still a virus even if it doesn't run as root. All
it needs to do is infect all files you have access to. The example I mentioned
in the other message (a shell program based virus) would do that and I'm sure
many of the readers of just this news group alone can easily come up with one of
these.
The challenge in UNIX has always been to find ways of breaking into root from
a non root account. Once there the "cracker" can do as he/she pleases, including
installing worms, viruses and trojans. The trick at this point is to stay
undetected.

I personally have had no experiance with the winchip,my posting was in
responce to statements made by IDT themselves in a reveiw of the winchip at
alternative cpu.com[i think?].Anyway,a quick scan thru deja-news gives me
the impression that the newer winchips[240 + up] run fine on linux and I
assume bsd.Some people with first issue chips seem to have some problems
though; they seem to operate, just with poor performance,which is in line
with idt's statement.
I look forward to trying one out myself ,I love to support alternatives to
the monopoplists!

hi!
i want to use a linux server for printing and i need page accounting.
to do page accounting it is necessary to read the page counter
of the printer. therefore you need a bidirectional interface like
serial interface or jetdirect.
i want to use the parallel interface of o pc.
is it possible to use a bidirectional parallel interface to read

I'm trying to get my soundcard working under linux. The card came with the
computer, which is a rather strange beast manufactured by Packard Bell. As
far as I am aware the soundcard has a AZT2320 chip, and is 100% Soundblaster
Pro compatible. However attempting to use the sndconfig utility results in
modprobe producing an error. The computer is a 9000 series (I believe the
model number *may* be 9020, but I am unsure (I'm in university at the minute
so I can't check)), and I am running Redhat Linux 5.1 (kernel version 2.0.34
or similar, again not 100% sure), which works better than previous versions
(sndconfig used to cause a segmentation fault).
Please help!

Hi,
I'm buying a new abit BH6 with P2 450mhz processor. I'm not a gamer but
I like good video performance. I think a 4-8mb PCI card should do well
for me. The mother board supports AGP as well as PCI video cards. I
currently run Matrox Mystique cards in two computers with Linux and NT.
Can any of you recommend a good, stable, but faster card for the aBit
board that is fully suppored and stable under Linux? Either AGP or PCI.

Hi Rafael,
are you using modules? If you do, then you have to recompile and install
the modules as well. So with "SMP" enabled do the following:
# make zImage
# make modules
# make modules_install
Then install your kernel as usual. If you don't rebuild the modules, they
are not aware of SMP.
Hope this solves your problem.

Subject: SCSI, RAID controllers, Linux. . .
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 20:27:02 -0600
The company I work for has a server which originally was going to run
SCO OpenServer 5, but may end up running Linux instead. The server has
a DPT PCI SCSI PM2044U controller, with a DPT RC4040 RAID controller
attached to it. I found on RedHat's website that the DPT PM2044 is
supported (don't know if the `U' on the end matters), but couldn't find
anything for or against the RAID controller---I've heard that ``not
listed = not supported.''
We already have SCO installed on the server (on one huge partition) and
so we started installing RedHat Linux 5.1 to see how it goes. We got to
fdisk and it *seemed* to recognize the RAID array: it showed up as
/dev/sda4, with GNU HURD as the file system type. This is where we
stopped.
So the main question is this: Does Linux actually recognize the RAID
array (what is a GNU HURD fs?), and are there any Linux utilities
available for reporting on the status of/repairing a RAID array?
Many thanks for any help with this. . .

Hi,
I have the cards on two machines. Either can run NT or Linux with no problems.
Although I run 100mps under 95/NT, I think that I remember (?) seeing something
the other day while running a check that the card was set to 10mps. I wonder
about this though because I have a 100mps only hub. And I was talking to the
other computer....
They seem to work for me. I'm using SuSE 5.3 on one computer and Redhat 5.2 on
the other.

Hi again,
Can't you have someone down here buy the card
and ship it to you? Is that against the law-I

In Linux this card flies and took care of all
the "hanging" with redraws etc. that I had

In Win95 it seems the same except for the 3D.

hi,
I own a Celeron with 128 M and 8.4 IBM dekstar ultradma harddisk
I use Debian 2.0 with kernel 2.1.120
hdparm -t -T reported me 12,08 M/s and 128 M/s
is it normal ? can I hope better ?
I tried hdparm -d1 -X34 and disk failed with message "waiting for dma timeout"
then I had to reboot
can the disk be physically damaged ? how can I test it ?
I have some problem with serial I/O too
is there a link ?
regards,
eric
