Subject: mpeg decoder card
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 09:34:15 -0400
Hi,
I want to use an mpeg decoder pci card with Linux. The target would
be mpeg datastreaming over a network and displaying it on the box
with such a card. But DVD is also a nice application for such kind of
card.
Has anyone informations about such cards running under Linux and the
appropriate drivers, or is it still impossible to get technical data
from the vendors.
One card is for example the NetStream2 from REALmagic in which I am
interessted in.
A friend of mine already tried to make a contact with REALmagic, but he
was not successfull at this very moment.
If you know some forums for such kind of topic, like DVD for Linux,
please let me know.
Does anyone knows more about the politics of such card vendors
concerning
example code or technical data?
If you know anything about that topic, please mail me:

And ditto for windows. :-) Just be sure to have the drives on different
channels for best performance. For example, make both drives the master of

I'd be concerned about all the no-name components; also the Aladdin
chipset is not a good choice for UDMA support under Linux.

Hmm. I poked about in the manual, and it really does sound like a
paperweight, but I'm still not entirely certain; they went out of
their way to word things vaguely.
For example, in the "Windows Printing System" section, it has the
setting:
PCL Memory: provides the means of selecting the amount of RAM the PC
should use for PCL emulation.
This just doesn't sound hopeful. Then again, the specs part of the
manual says "WPS and PCL 4.0" are both standard emulations. I don't
know if I beleive them, though...
If it doesn't go when you configure it as an ljet4, then I think it's
really a paperweight. I've added it as such to my listings; if it
turns out to work, let me know.

I use an ESS1688 and it works fine. I used sndconfig to set it up.
I don't know if ESS688 is a typo error or not. Hope this helps.

I will have to second this advice. The FA310TX cards do work quite well
and netgear (Bay Networks) is begining to support linux as a mainstream
OS.
Other cards (which are virtually identical to the netgear ones) are the
Linksys cards (also DEC tulip based and ship with a patched version of the
D. Becker's standard driver) and the SOHOware series of card by NDC (don't
ship with the patched drivers, but do have the available via their web/ftp
sites)
In general all the cards will run you between $15-35 dollars at your local
CompUSA or other major retail chains....so incase your local chain doesn't
carry a netgear card or they are out of the latest SOHOware multipacks,
you should have no problem purchasing one of the other brands.
Just a word of warning---if you plan to go mail order be careful. There
are a number of $10-15 cards being sold out there based on the RealTek
chipset. These will work....but they aren't the absolute greatest cards
(ie. they really are low end) Also consider using the local retail
outlets for this purchase. The reason is that most of them have a weekly
rebate special on one of their card brands (so you can save ussually $10
on the card) and most of them are now packaged with a cable (a nice
color coded molded assembly)
My pride small triumph in this area was getting a Linksys card (with
pretty blue cable) for $20 (on sale down from $30) with a $10 rebate....

Subject: corrupt filenames on zipdrive
Date: Fri, 23 Jul 1999 15:22:51 GMT
Hi,
I've installed a parallell port Zipdrive on my SuSE 6.1 Linux box. The
driver is found at startup and it works fine to mount it. The problem is
that the filenames on the disks (formatted under win95) get corrupted
when I mount them (tried both msdos and vfat).
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Someone's got a solution?
Thanks,
Olof

I have a sound blaster live card (not value) and is working fine with my
Linux.
I have kernel 2.2.5, but what I hear Creative has recently released the beta
3 of the driver that works on kernel 2.2.5-15 and 2.2.10 as well.
I can't tell you anything about SPDIF though, because I haven't tried it
yet.
Also I would like to get my surround speakers working (its not active right
now in my Linux system). Has anybody got all channels working with SBLive in
Linux? Any news on getting environmantal sound (surround sound) in Linux?

I don't think the DEC chip is even being made any more, and the Netgear
and Linksys cards are being made with some clone chip... they seem to work
fine though, as long as you have the right driver version.

Don't fall for the rebate trick. The reason rebates are so freely
offered is most people don't send in for them; it really is a hassle,
and you might get stiffed anyway. I recently send in for $70 worth
of Linksys rebates and after some weeks got a postcard in the mail
saying it was rejected for lack of a receipt (totally untrue!), with
no contact information whatsoever for disputing it. Oh and they gave
me 3 days to send in the "original receipt" that I'd already sent and
so do not have any more.

IMO excessive partitioning is pointless if you have only one
disk anyway. Two problems I can see right away are:
- 100M for /tmp will not be enough in some cases (e.g. running
htdig)
- some *huge* applications are installed in /opt

Or look on ebay for a cheap, compq raid case.
They are well designed, with hot swap facilities. and they have plenty o
fans as standard
mine are the F/wide type take 7 drives and the case has a fan in the PSU a
fan in the rear a fan draging air across the drives, and space for another
fan in the rear.
Nice lockable front door, and they can be upgraded to duel bus setups and
more.
all for around $100 US
Nicely built too, ie they are about 65Lbs in weight <grin>

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for posting the location of this documentation. I've been beating my
head against the wall here about ISDN config probs.

I have not yet found anyone who could answer this question. But I
have heard the BSLive's S/PDIF connection criticized:

I've heard good things about the Hoontech SoundTrack 128 Ruby
(http://www.hoontech.com/product/soundcard/ST128DDMARuby.htm, the
german distributor is http://www.ridi.com/de, a Kernel module is
available from http://www.anime.net/~sam9407/) and ordered one today.

Try reconfiguring the harddisk using a configuration software such as fdisk on
dos.
You can also use fdisk during installation of the Linux OS.
If you can't see the harddisk at all, check your harddisk's pin configurations.

Hi, I'm thinking of getting the Thrustmaster ACM game card, but I'm
wondering if it is supported under Linux. I'm running RH6, kernel
2.2.5, on a PII-400 Dell. Can anyone tell me if they have successfully
used this card with Linux?
Thanks, Bill

With more money than sense, I bought a IDE ATAPI Sony Superstation tape
only later to find that is is not supported. indeed, there's even a
comment
to this effect in ide-tape source from kernel 2.2 distribution.
Is anybody working on this problem?
Does anybody want to buy this drive ;-) ?
