I haven't tried it myself, but maybe this would be possible to do with

I think that sblive is a PCI card. If a PCI card is trying to steal an
IRQ from an ISA card you should be able to stop this in the CMOS
settings. There you should be able to reserve some IRQs for ISA only.
The settings is mostly called something like PNP/ISA/PCI/IRQ-settings.

Subject: IBM 9LP HD cache enabling
Good evening, all.
I would like to be able to check and adjust the status of the read and
write caches on my IBM 9LP UW SCSI hard drive. I've noticed that it
sometimes "forgets" that the write cache is enabled in Windoze and I
have to re-enable it using SCSI-Vision.
Is there a program/utility available in Linux that would allow me to do
the same thing? Since I've realized that my hard drive is "forgetful"
I've been wondering what its configuration is under Linux.
FWIW, I'm running SuSE 6.0...

I found a solution to the printing speed problem in tunelp. I lowered
some timing values with it and now the printouts come as quickly as in

This is a very good point that isn't covered very well by the docs. If you run a
K6-2/350 (100MHz
bus), you need PC100 SDRAM. The board supports other memory types, but you'll run into
trouble if your CPU expects more than your memory is willing to give (the MB doesn't
do any
fancy arbitration and/or wait states to make it work). This is also true of the
VA-503+, also
a good board (similar to the 2013, but AT style).
One funny thing is that the 503+ doesn't support Intel P-133 CPUs, but the 2013 does
(both
support P-166MMX -- it's a voltage thing). Hey, but who cares, right?
Anyway, I've used both and had no problems.

Hi,
Another form of investigation you should do is to read about the kernel
patches since 2.2.5 (http://www.kernelnotes.org) and see if such a thing
is mentioned. You can use the "patch browser" links to actually read
through the source code diffs.
Most developers ask (and often demand) that you test this "feature" with
the latest released version before reporting anything. If it really is
a bug (probably in the scsi driver code), the preferred submission
method is almost always a source code patch. :)

I don't believe RedHat 6.0 works "out of the box". It certainly didn't for me. Driver
support in included in the source tree -- but it's not part of the installation disks,
thus you can't install to a Initio SCSI only system (perhaps the installed kernel
DOES have support, but you can't get there from here, so to speak).
At any rate, once you figure everything out, it DOES work. Initio now has RH 6.0
install disk images on their web site (as well as 5.1 and 5.2). My controllers
are actually IWill 2935UW cards. I got Oracle installed and running on them,
no problems (yet)...
Oh, it should work as a module, as long as you don't need to boot from a device
connected to it!

Hi,
I would advise that you read the information on this web page:
http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.3.1/SiS.html
It contains notes from the developers on the hardware support for
SiS-based cards. For example, in the introduction: "Support for 6326
is currently enabled, but tested only on few cards."
Under the link titled "4. Modelines", there are also recommendations for
configuration information you can add to your XF86Config file for the
SiS 6326 card.
Hope this helps.

If you already have AT cases, consider using K6-2's and the EPOX 58MVPC-M

Hi,
DSL service is highly geograpic-dependent. It would be best to consult
your local phone book, call area telephone companies, check their web
sites, and also search community-based web sites. As far as hardware
devices, find out what each service will provide you with, or require,
and consult a Linux hardware compatibility list ahead of time to assist
your evaluation.

Well, I am after a good cost/benefit balance. UDMA EIDE disks have 1/3
price of an average SCSI disk.
If you compare 7200rpm (and up) disk with EIDE, or average SCSI disks
with PIO mode IDE disks, there may be a huge performance difference. But
I don't "believe" that there would be much performance difference
between an average SCSI disk and an UDMA EIDE disk.

Driving them in PIO mode directly by CPU would eat up CPU cycles. But If
the controller emulates a SCSI card, then so far as Linux and CPU
concerned, it is a SCSI card, and disks are SCSI disks. So it would eat
up no more CPU than a real SCSI controller with real SCSI drives. Of
course, the "translation" between SCSI and IDE protocol is the
controller's job.

I agree. It is the main drawback for this theory of mine. And finding a
"SCSI-emulating EIDE controller with hardware RAID5 and battery backed
cache" is not making sense. (Such a controller being a "server class"
thing, it conflicts with the compromises made by using IDE. Also it's
price would lessen the savings made by using IDE.) On the other hand, I
would prefer using a dedicated "RAID5 server" than to use a hardware
RAID card and SCSI disks. It would be much cheaper for me. I can build a
Celeron-400 machine with 128MB ram for as low as $500 which is probably
cheaper than the SCSI controller alone.
There are many niches for this approach. I, for one, plan to start up a
home brew web hosting facility for free (or minimal fee to cover
expenses). I just want to be "in" and get some experience, barely
covering my expenses. So I need huge disk area with "acceptable"
performance. In a standard PC I can install as much as 8 EIDE disks
(putting CD and backup drive and everything to another machine).
Assuming 15GB disks I can expand no more than 120GB. Also, 8 disks would
eat up 4 irq lines. For me, such a controller would be invaluable.
