Hi,
Try Jaton Communicator II. It is terrific in my Linux box. I use RHL 6.0
and Win95. It can be found and used in both OS.
Good luck,

Subject: NEC SuperScript 1800 w/PostScript level 2
Date: 20 Jul 1999 14:35:20 GMT
Hi everyone!
I am looking to buy a postscript laser printer and found a printer with
very nice specifications for a nice price:
NEC SuperScript 1800 (about $770 at PCConnection)
====================
1200dpi (not that I can see the difference w/r/t 600...)
17 ppm (manufacturer's claims...)
PCL5/6 and PostScript Level 2 (additional ~$110)
Duplex (nice feature! lets save some trees...)
Claims to be compatible with Windoze/DOS and Mac (with the PS kit and an
optional mac interface)
Will it work with Linux? It should, right? After all it is PostScript...
But will I know the escape sequences to make it print either in duplex or
simplex mode?
How reliable are NEC printers? (I was going to get an HP 2100 w/PS for
about the same price, but no duplexing)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Indeed, but that doesn't make it right. They sold and charged me for a 400mhz
machine. I spent hours on the phone with their tech. support in order to
prevent something like this from happening. There were also several HP press
releases concerning the new 400mhz chip.
Lies are bad ... just like poorly written operating systems.

I have a great life, thanks. But if it's ok with you, I'll calm down when I
feel it's appropriate. Corporate entities acting out of line is, I think, an

Subject: Resetting the SCSI bus
Date: 20 Jul 1999 16:15:37 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I'm running Linux 2.0.34 with excellent results. It is a very stable
system indeed!
Unfortunately, my local power company is not quite so stable. Just
the other day we had two outages which lasted only a few seconds, but
they were long enough to knock off the part of my computer system that
isn't on a UPS. I have the computer and monitor on the UPS. The
computer is a Pentium II with 128MB RAM, and contains a Adaptec 2940U
SCSI adapter and an internal Exabyte 2501c SCSI tape drive. On the
other hand, the printer (HP Laserjet 6L) and scanner (HP Scanjet
6200C) are on a surge protector. The scanner is connected to the
2940U's external SCSI connector. The tape drive and printer are the
only devices on the SCSI chain; my two 1 GB hard drives are EIDE.
Therein lies my problem: thanks to the UPS, my computer makes it
through these outages fine, but the scanner goes offline, thus leaving
the SCSI bus in an uncertain state. Powering the scanner off and on
fails to bring it back online. In fact, any attempt to access the
scanner *or* tape drive results in an unkillable process that even
'kill -9' cannot kill.
I've found that it's possible to 'rmmod' and 'insmod' the aic7xxx SCSI
driver if no processes are using it. Doing this effectively resets
the SCSI bus, but Very Bad Things happen if a process that had
previously used a SCSI device but is not currently using it decides to
use the device again, so I have to be very careful when using this
approach. I'd have to say that the only 100% safe way I've found to
recover from this problem is to reboot. :-(
Now, my questions:
1. Is there a clean, safe way short of a reboot to convince the
aic7xxx SCSI driver to reset the SCSI bus?
2. Failing a software solution, would I be foolish to hang the
scanner off the same UPS as my computer and monitor (the scanner is
asleep 99.44% of the time), or would I be best off by investing in a
second UPS for my peripherals?
3. How do *you* recover from a hung SCSI device?
Other than this, Linux 2.0.34 is working very well for me, so I'd
rather not upgrade to 2.2.x right now (although I'd upgrade to a later
2.0.x if that would help). Therefore, I'm looking for a solution that
will work with 2.0.x.
Thanks,
Dave

I'm currently using the PCI Creative RivaTNT @ 1280x1024 on XFree86

it's generic for TNT cards.

to be currently
avialable. The only comprehensive information I can find online
(http://hyper.stanford.edu/pub/pcmcia/)
suggested that the drivers for the newer 3Com 10/100base T cards (i.e. the 3C574TX &
3ccFE574BT) have problems,
yet they are the only cards I have yet been able to locate through retail. Please
note that, being a novice,
I'm willing to settle for 10base T in exchange for support and easy of installation.

You certainly can mount the disk, but I don't know about KDE
integration. You can do it manually as root using a command something
like:
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt
Basically Linux sees the drive as just another hard disk, which is
probably why KDE doesn't treat it as a floppy.

I've been trying to figure out the ramifications of this, without
success. If your solution works, great. Figuring out how to micro-
weave with 21 pins will be a bear. I'm trying to work on some
documentation on the process, and including it with the stuff
that's available on Bert Haverkamp's Epson 740 page:

You bring up an interesting point - I've never thought of trying

Since Jazz and Zip were mentioned in the subj I will assume they are options
for you as well (even though the message body didnt mention them). I know
nothing about the orb drive - sorry - but, the ATAPI versions of the Zip work
great (is there an ATAPI Jazz?). All you need to do to get the ATAPI Zip to
work is to compile with support for an ATAPI floppy drive (as well as the old-
school floppy as well if necessary).
Of course, the ATAPI's are not as fast as SCSI, but they are rather fast in
their own right.

Well, I'm with a 2.2.7 kernel and I've included the es1370 module (my
PCI64 has the 1370 chip) ... but it doesn't play anything.
How should I make it work? I know how to proceed with ISA cards, but I'm
pretty lost with PCI cards. I've read that they get autoconfigured (PCI
P'n'P) but no way!!
Any idea? Any hint?
Also, Lev, where can I find a decent explanation on how to makw it work
the ALSA drivers? I've been to their web but I get a little lost. Maybe
my english's not enough good? (I'm from Barcelona) What ALSA driver
version are you using? Is it compatible with kernels 2.2.X or only 2.3.X
