Hmm ... If you have problems getting PCI then how can I find VLB or ISA?
I will have to get in touch with Dell Support to find out what bus I

What could this be? I can run at 1027x768 pixels in 256 bit colour, or
1280x1024 in 16 bit colour? And isn't this a stupid thing to do? ie try
and run something exotic before checking the capabilities of the
hardware? Why not start in VGA?

Is there no switch I can apply to tell it not to be so silly?

So far as I am aware nothing is broken. All the modes that I allowed to
run in Windows function normally. Perhaps I should contact RedHat
support and tell them what is happening.

Thanks for your continued help.

Rick,

Read PCMCIA HOWTO by David Hinds.  It got lots of informations in there.  I
am using Mandrake 5.3 with 2.2.7 kernel on a Toshiba 320CDT and I am having
a 3Com Cardbus Ethernet card and a Global 56K Modem and both are working.
You may have to install the latest pcmcia-cs-xxx driver.  Good luck.

    Hi,

Well the SGI instructions for IDE drives is pretty straightforward( of course,

I received an email from someone who has a hack that might fool the kernel into

    At least that is my interprestation.. If I have any joy, I'll post it. I think
there must be more folks out there with this problem.

    Alas, time is money.  And you are right, the cost of the box, makes an
IDE drive ($160 for 10G !!!!) seem most attractive.

Of course, I'd need to do a boatload of paperwork...:-)

Yes, you mount it as ufs under read only mode.  It works just fine for

I don't know the current status since I don't need write mode yet.

Take a look at this from IOMEGA... 
=========================================================================
omegazine(tm) - Support

Document #3000
Revision 003

What will happen if the Ditto Max, 3200, or 2GB Insider is
connected to a 500 Kb/sec. controller?

This document applies to the following:

Operating System: Windows 95, NT, 3.1x, MS-DOS
Device Type: Ditto Insider
Software Version: Ditto Tools, Iomega Backup, Flash!File

Why can't I use a Ditto Max, 3200, 2GB or 1700 tape drive
on a 500 Kb/sec. controller card?

The  3200MB*  and 2GB* tape drive motors  were designed to run at one of
two  speeds, 1Mb/sec. or 2 Mb/sec. The controller card the tape drive is
connected to will send data at a specified speed. If the controller card
does  not send the data at the same  rate the tape drive motor is moving
the  tape;  the  backup performance will  drop  as  will the compression
ratio.

To  use  the  Ditto  3200  or Ditto  1700  tape  drive  on  a 500Kb/sec.
controller  card,  the  tapes  will  have  to  be  re-formatted  on  the
500Kb/sec.  controller card. The Ditto 2GB*  will require a 1Mb/ sec. or
faster  controller  card;  the  2GB tape  drive  will  not function on a
500Kb/sec.   controller  card.  The  Ditto  Max  must  use  the  4MB/sec
controller card included with the drive.

If  the 3200 MB* tape drive is  connected to a 500Kb/sec. card there are
several  issues that will arise. First, the slower controller speed will
not  allow  for  compression. In other  words,  the  3200 MB* tape drive
capacity  will be decreased to 1600MB. In addition, the transfer rate of
the tape drives will decrease with both tape drives, which may cause the
tape  drive to shoeshine. Iomega does not recommend using the Ditto Max,
3200MB* or 2GB* tape drives with a 500Kb/sec. controller card.

How do I know what speed my controller card is?

To determine if your floppy disk controller is able to support the Ditto
3200,  2GB,  or 1700, Iomega has  developed a utility that will indicate
the  speed  of  your floppy  disk  controller  called Iodetect.exe. This
utility  is  available  from Iomega's WebStie.  Once  this file has been
downloaded,  execute this program from the DOS prompt. This utility will
tell you the speed of your floppy disk controller.

If  you are unable to obtain the  Iodetect.exe utility, the speed of the
controller card usually can not be determined by looking at the card. To
determine  the speed of your controller card, refer to the documentation
that came with the computer.

Iomega recommends using the Ditto Dash Accelerator card with the Ditto
3200 and 2GB* tape drives.

*Compression assumes 2:1 ratio.  Actual compression will vary with
file and hardware configuration.

Subject: Re: Adaptec 2940 UW SCSI Problem
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 15:31:24 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====

The problem is your termination of the SCSI chain.

Just so you know the Adaptec 2940UW will actually work with improper
termination (well kinda that is)  However you will start to notice
messages like you are getting.  The solution is to terminate both the high
and low ends of your SCSI chain.  To do this:

1) If you have both external and internal devices you must terminate the
external chain with a 68pin wide ACTIVE terminator on the last
device. (I've tried a passive and a passthrough termination and they just
are not the same)  If you have no external devices you need to set your
termination on the AH2940UW via it's bios (go into the SCSI bios...eg. hit
cntrl-a like the screen for ez-scsi says) and turn on the termination.
You will have three options "ON/ON" "OFF/ON" "ON/OFF" corresponding
HIGH/LOW termination (meaning external/internal if you read the docs
carefully) In the case that you have both external and internal devices
the setting should be "OFF/OFF" indicating that you will provide all
termination properly other wise you need the "ON/OFF" or "OFF/ON"
depending on which side of the bus you are using.

In the case of internal devices....again the last device on the chain MUST
be terminated.  This is normally done on a seagate drive by means of a
jumper on the back jumper block (if you read the docs on your drive you
will see a jump number which turns on active termination.  Alternatively
your drive may have a resistor block for passive termination, in which
case make sure that it is filled with the correct load and that any
jumpers that short this block out are set properly.

The last thing to mention is that this error can also be caused by a
T-configuration of the card (i.e. using the external, wide-internal,
narrow-internal simulatenously)  While this will work sometimes (I ran a
narrow CD-R off the T for a while until I could hunt down a good 50-68 pin
adapter) It will give errors and should prove unreliable.

Interestingly Win/95/98/NT were not able to detect that my termination was
incorrect or that I had T'd the bus (this in contrast to Linux screaming
bloody murder about it)  The most remarkable part of the whole thing was
that the system when shipped by a Large well known dealer (who will remain
nameless, but shame on them anyways) was configured with EVERY device on
the SCSI bus terminated (note: ONLY the last device can be terminated if
things are going to work right) and when I say EVERY I mean the disk,
tape, CD, etc....shame shame on them....but it does tell me that the
AH2940 is very good at picking up heavily attenuated signals...kudos to
Adaptec....

Well good luck with your new toy, remember that it really is all about
termination.  When all else fails check the manual that came with the
AH2490 as it has a section on termination and cable lengths.

Has anyone been able to get a Lexmark 3200 to work with Linux?
I have apsfilter and ghostscript installed but can't seem to find the
appropriate
filter. I have 4.0 Slackware (Linux 2.2.6 w/ libc5).

Thanks!

Dan

Hi,

does anyone have any clue as to why this particular board will not work with
the xfree86_3dlabs server?? -I've tried setting clock chip and all that
manually - with no luck at all....

your faithfully,
