That's not the biggest problem. You can implement a software keyboard on
screen easily.
Also I have some experience in writing handwriting recognition software.
Building something like Graffiti is not THAT diffcult. In fact it's very old
technology. It's MUCH more difficult to write a handwriting recognition software
that understands aribtrary cursive scripts.

Oh really, most of it's employees are heavily invested shareholders (or options

As I said, Windows everywhere seems to be the best way to make cash.

Strange enough, I thought perhaps it was some sort of kernel enhancement
that was causing the problem, so I decided to dig up my old 4.1 RedHat Cd (I
was attempting boot with 5.2 before). Its kernel booted perfectly and the
machine is up and running. Now I have to dig through the archives and find
out how to get the Cabletron e21 working properly, then I will attempt to
compile the newer kernel in the hopes of removing the bug that caused my
problem in 5.2.

Aggree with the SCSI, Have had trouble with DPT 2044UW controller &
Linux... Seems at maximum transfer rate (20Mhz) I get rnadom SCSI Bus
errors and occasional lock ups...the two drivers (EATA & EATA-DMA) under
kernel 2.0.36 have *different* errors, but *neither* work without errors
at full transfer rates...and yes, I have checked cables, devices,
terminations, etc. I've swapped the card with an Adaptec 2940UW and
didn't have any problems. I swapped the individual drives with new
drives, and got the errors on the new drives. I've tried several cables,
including those sold by Adaptec that were designed to work for maximum
transfer rates on an UW bus...only consitent thing was DPT controller +
20Mhz SCSI Xfer rate =3D SCSI Bus errors (timeouts, device busy, etc...)

True, the P-III does not have any new features that will cause any
preformance increase, but the manufacturers I looked at are selling
systems with them that are pricewise the same as a PII at the same
speed... (i.e. a P-II 400 system is about $300 more than a P-II 350, and
a P-III 450 is $300 more than a P-II 400, and a P-III 500 is $300 more
than a P-III 450...) so it seems they are being priced as high speed
P-II systems...

Ummm...where did you get your info? I haven't been able to find *any*
benchmarks that say a 400 Mhz Xeon is any better at Floating point
operations than a 400Mhz P-II... In fact they have the *same* core (FPU
included) and the primary difference between the Xeon and the P-II (and
P-III) is that the L2 cache on the Xeon runs at *cpu* speed, where the
L2 cace on the other run at 1/2 cpu speed... so, data access is somewhat
faster, but the floating point operations is not significantly
different...

Ummm...beg to differ...the companies I've looked at so far are selling
P-IIIs at the same price as fast P-IIs... i.e. P-II 400 system is $300
more than a P-II 350 system. a P-III 450 system is $300 more than a P-II
400 system, a P-III 500 system is $300 more than a P-III 450...
Looks like you're paying $300 for each 50Mhz, regardless of P-II or
P-III or going between the two... This is appropriate since the P-III
offers nothing new (save 80 SIMD instructions) and is essentially a
faster P-III

Just in case my previous post doesn't make it through...
The 4/66 Prosignia and the Prosignia VS use an EISA version of the NCR
chipset. The Linux driver for this chipset only supports the PCI
version of the controller.
Someone needs to write a driver; myself, I just bought a new computer to
run Linux on. :-)

I had the same problem on a Prosignia VS - the problem is that the NCR
chipset supported by the Linux driver is the PCI version of the driver -
the Prosignia 4/66 and VS have the EISA version of this chipset, which
the driver doesn't support.
AFAIK, until someone writes a driver for the EISA chipset, you won't get
it to work...

First, you may not need PostScript (see below). Second, the absolute
cheapest you could get would probably be something on the used or
reconditioned market. For new stuff, I know that Lexmark's Optra E+ has a
PostScript option -- you'd need to buy the printer AND the PostScript
add-on. I've not used it, so I can't say how good it is. I don't know if
any of their current models do, but Okidata used to have PostScript
options for some of their mid-range printers, too. Oh, and Lexmark's got a
new color inkjet with built-in PostScript at a pretty low cost, IIRC.
(Most of these are probably PostScript clones, BTW.)
> If I just want to print simple text (using inexpensive laser
> printer), do I need driver for each manufacturer??
For raw text, you just need a printer that'll ACCEPT raw text. Most
non-WinPrinters will do this fine, but be sure you're not getting
something that's crippled and won't work except from Windows. Some of the
cheapest printers are lobotomized and useless except under Windows.
Most laser printers that fall at above the lobotomy level but below the
PostScript level use some version of the PCL language. PCL is supported by
Ghostscript, which converts PostScript into a variety of other formats.
Ghostscript comes with all self-respecting Linux distributions, though you
can usually find an updated version elsewhere. Anyhow, if you configure
your printer queue properly, you can send a PostScript file to a printer
queue and have it print correctly on a PCL printer, since the queue will
filter it through Ghostscript. Details on configuring your printer are
easy to complex, depending upon which distribution you're using, so check
your documentation.
