DOS can use the Controller in every PC to drive the Harddisk. Since Win this
Routines will be replaced with faster and better Drivers. But not all
Hardware are supported.
If someone code a Driver that use the Harddisk trough the internal
Bios-Routines, Linux will support (slow but i does) really all Controllers.
This could be used to the Point when the right Driver is ready.

I see lots of problems too! Framing errors and stuff.

Any recommendations of what cards WILL work?

The contest is to find a particular one cheaper than $55.95 that you
*know* will work with Linux. Many of the ones there are soft modems.

In your kernel config, UART401 is not set (option MPU-401 UART Midi support)
Could this be the problem?
I wouldn't worry too much about it. This MIDI device refers to external MIDI
interface (to connect, e.g., a MIDI keyboard). It's the synth device that plays
your MIDI files to the card. Yours is configured for FM synth only; if you have
wavetable, upgrade with the SB AWE package.

Not Really.......
There are just too many vague generalities and too many combinations.
Its more like a specification than a standard.
I've found boxes and interfaces that logically should be dce and are dte and vice
versa.
I've found interfaces on boxes that defy all logic as to which signals are on
which pins of the RS-232? interface.
I think this obfuscation is deliberate on the part of the manufacturer.
Why? You tell me?

If you are looking for a driver for the parallel port Shark - it has
been part of the standard kernel for year now. The link on Avatar's
site was just a pointer to the Linux parallel port homepage at
http://www.torque.net/parport/ .
If you have PCMCIA drive, it should be supported by the Linux PCMCIA
package.

There are no version numbers here - what kernel is on your boot floppy ?
Under normal circumstances you should not have to enter any parameters.
If the driver is not loading properly, give the parameters
verbose=1
to get an expanded report on the autoprobe. You can use the ALT-F keys
to move to other screens, one of which will contain the debug messages.

Well,
I was getting something like
scsi: resource busy or device not supported.
Now I am using SPP, imm 0.18, and kernel 2.0.36, and my drive works just
fine.
By the way, how do I make an ext2 file system on the floppy without
having to boot into DOS to get rid of the software stored on the floppy.
The howto mentions some sort of write protection software on the disk
and the development of some Linux software to get rid of it.
Thanks,

Apparent garbage with "~", "{", and other characters,

I started something like this in 1996:

but did not do any work on it since then.
It has been vastly improved by Christoph Bartelmus:

who also now plans support for some IrDA devices (those which support CIR).

We just bought Linux for Sparc and do not have cfdisk utility, only
the README.cfdisk file. We've try to MAKE it. But no luck yet. It
keep saying "FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition"
"Press any key to exit fdisk "
Someone could help?
We've sent email to Ms Martin but no answer yet.
Thank you.

Subject: ZIP mount help
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 09:31:29 -0500
I met some problem when I tried to mount my iomega zip disk.
I can see that the zip drive is detected by Linux.
when I mounted it, it complained.
I am using kernel 2.0.36. Is that possible that the kernel does not
support zip?
Thanks.
