Cache is not only useful for reducing disk access but memory access also.
Especially if the main memory is slower than the cache memory.

These are my reasons:
Ghostscript 5.50 has no official support for Hp6xx(not really brand
new..).
There are no "Deskjet tools" thus I cannot:
. align new cartridges.
. clean the cartridges.
hpdj and cdj550 damaged the black head so now I get stripes all over
my prints.
I do not have the time to hack through the driver and then recompile
ghostscript.

If you examine the boards you'll likely find that one of them has an Ali
chipset and the other a Via. That's more likely to be the cause of the
difference you're seeing. Also check the BIOS settings and make sure that
both machines are running with the same timings.

Pretty much any printer will work with Windows because the manufactures
tend to supply drivers so find a good printer that will work with Linux.
I have a HP 6MP printer (8 pages/minutes 600 dpi laser with PostScript)
and it has worked without any problems what-so-ever. If you want something
a bit cheaper, the HP 6P is available and is identical to the 6MP except that
it doesn't have the PostScript simm so you'ld have to use GhostScript.
Hope this helps,

Having set up an Epson Stylus Colour 640, I'd have to agree with
Daniele. After trying a bunch of the stc*.upp device files for the
uniprint driver, I've had no luck getting colour output that comes
close to the Windows 95 output. I'm still fiddling with colour
transfer coefficients etc. etc., but I'd certainly rather Epson did
the legwork on this one. As for HP, they get the big thumbs down on
their new "windows only" models.

NortonDISKEDIT/ Linux Fdisk... Disk Druid will f**k up your FAT32 Partitions..
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 11:56:31 -0500
Does anyone have some expertise in this area? I would like to manually
rebuild a partition table using Linux fdisk and Norton Disk Editor. I
only
need access to my lost primary DOS FAT32 14Gig Partition, that's it! {I
only
have about 5 Gigs of DATA at the BEGINNING of the drive.}
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Some background:
============
I got my brand spankin new IBM Deskstar 14 Gig EIDE/UDMA HD for my Win98
system. After formatting a single 14 gig FAT32/Win98 Partition, I
transfered all my files from my old 4 gig WesterDigital to the IBM.
Things
were running pretty spiffily!
I had the brilliant idea of building Linux onto my old 4 Gig WD HD,
and I downloaded the RedHat4.2 files for this purpose.
After booting the Linux Boot disks, I used Disk Druid (which did
not recognize my FAT32 partition on the 14Gig ) to create new partition
on my old 4 gig WD. Because it did not want DD to mount my unrecognized
FAT32/14Gig/Primary partition, I deleted the mount point.
However, by doing so DiskDruid ALSO deleted my partition table of my
14 GigWin98 HD and I haven't been able to access it since!!!
Forget Norton Disk Doctor, Partition Magic... nothing was able to
restore my
old partition. I tried setting up a new bootable FAT32 partition with
Linux Fdisk
which seems to work fine except the drive does not boot (No OS
Recognized), nor
does Win98 or Norton recognize my file directories. Win98 FDISK may
actually
identify my Harddrive as being of an UNKNOWN format.
Does anybody know what settings to fiddlewith in Norton DiskEdit
Advanced
Recovery Options to rebuild a proper partition table? How about fooling
Win98
to recognize my FAT/Root Directory and to let me access my files w/o
thinking that the HD needs to be reformatted. Could the MBR be corrupt?
How
does one restore this? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Linus D. Sun

No. When I compile the kernel, make menuconfig tells me not to select the
option MPU-401 with a SB16.
Does this apply to the PnP SB16 or does it only apply to the older SB16s?

That must be per cpu because ASL is selling dual Xeon's with up to 2GB RAM and
quad Xeon's up to 8GB RAM. Check out www.aslab.com Even if it is per cpu
they said Linux won't be able to support the higher RAM capacity.

sound driver works fine. Both X11amp and Realaudio can produce sound
out. But the RealAudio heavily load my CPU (K6-166 overclocked to 200).
The audio is interrupted everytime I change to another window , or

seems the CPU is fully occupied! I don't think it's the CPU problem 'cos
I don't have problem with X11amp, also the Realaudio (not G2) in Windows

Subject: AMD vs Intel: FPU performance + accuracy (using SPICE)
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 17:50:47 +0000 (GMT)
I've been trying to figure out whether an AMD or Intel chip was best for
general and electronic CAD use under Linux.
I recently had the chance to compare the SPICE circuit simulator running
on a Pentium 133
and a K6-2 350, both using Redhat 5.1, kernel 2.0.34.
SPICE is very FPU intensive, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the
K6-2 performing at more than 3 times the speed of the Pentium, despite
running at *less* then 3 times the clock speed.
Trying a different (more complex) circuit, I found the K6-2 to be faster
still, and I had a closer look at what was happening.
At each step in the SPICE simulation, the solution for that point in
time is calculated to a user-specified
error tolerance, and a smaller error tolerance results in the time-steps
being smaller, so
more data pooints are calculated for a given period of time. The Pentium
was producing more than 3
times as many data points as the K6-2, implying that there is something
going on with the accuracy
of the FPU in one of the chips.
The only suggestions I have had so far are that maybe the Pentium is
truncating the internal 80bit
FP number to 64bit for memory, while the AMD chip is rounding it up or
down, which would result
in an accurate solution being reached faster. I realise that the error
will only be in the least significant digit
of the number, but the algorith used in SPICE could amplify these tiny
errors to produce huge
differences in execution time, irrespective of the FPU's latency and
throughput.
Has anyone got any other ideas?

I've been told that the OB 300 to 530 have a non-standard keyboard that
Linux cannot recognize. The pop-up mouse also refuses to be alive together
with Linux. Screen and PCMCIA slots should be OK, though (the PCMCIA slots
are somewhat HP proprietary, but Linux seems to have no problems with
them).
Linux has been successfully installed on a OB 600, but nothing below that.
(I have a 425 that harks at Linux - of course, having only 50 M of flash
memory to play with would limit the usefulness of a Linux installation in
any case).
Minix? No idea.

Subject: 3c509b conflict with Aztech 2320 sound card
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1999 18:45:09 -0000
I've been having troubles installing my 3c509b under linux, the card
works fine under dos, but in both plug and pray mode and pnp disabled
linux couldn't find the card - nor could el3-diag (I've version 0.11
btw) !!! I have tried nearly all possible I/O and interrupt options and
still the same result.
Upon removing my only other ISA device, a Aztech 2320 sound card (a Pro
III or something) linux found the 3c509b card no problem. So how do I go
about getting both the sound card and 3c509b working together? What
could be causing the conflict?
Thanks in advance for any help :)
Cheers,

Solo-1 is, I believe, software compatible with SoundBlaster, but I don't think
it is hardware compatible. There is currently no driver in the kernel for
Solo-1 :-(
but OSS is expecting support in 1st quarter of 1999 :-) I have been using the
ALSA driver http://alsa.jcu.cz/ to get digital audio and to play CDs through the
audio out on my ASUS P5A motherboard. It's pretty easy to compile and install
as a module. Hint: make sure to load the snd-pcm1-oss compatiblity module to be
able to use it with most existing software. It is a work in progress also;
certain wave files to not work, at least on my system, but I'm just happy to
have it working at all right now ;-)

Check out ALSA http://alsa.jcu.cz/ . I have onboard Solo-1 and this got
digital audio working and cd throughput.
