I have no problem with *some* drives needing extra cooling.
It's the "Any HDD over 6GiB is reccomended to sit in a 5 1/4" bay with

Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2000 01:01:52 -0700
I have my Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT with an active matrix LCD for
sale. The CPU is a Pentium running at 120mhz, it has the CD-ROM
attachment and the Floppy Disk attachment. The condition is fair because
of a small crack near one of the hinges (I think this a common problem)
and there are a couple of stickers on the case (a CRYSTAL METHOD and a
SWITCH BLADE SYMPHONY). I still have the original manuals as I'm the
original owner. Also included is a PC-Card FaxModem rated at 56k Flex.
I will not erase the HD which has MS OFFICE 97 PRO, running MS Windows
98, MS MONEY 99 and more! You will be responsible to delete those Apps.
I will include a very nice laptop bag which the Satellite Pro fits very
well in and an external mouse (when you don't want to use the trackpoint)
NEW PRICE $480 (need the cash for taxes). Also as a recent addition I
will include my Zip Drive as well because I realized that I won't need it
after the sale. Also after going to Toshiba's web site to update the
drivers I notice a settlement from the FDC that entitles Toshiba laptops
owners towards $100 free on Toshiba products this is the web site for
more details:

I second this recommendation. The Axis cameras are the best on the market,
IMHO. I just got 4 2100's at work. One problem is that the 2100 is in
extremely short supply. The ones we just got were ordered in January!
They're worth the wait, though. Once you try one, you'll consider other
"web cameras" to be toys. They're an amazing piece of work.
They do have one major downside, though. They don't work in bright sunlight.
They're designed for low light performance and get overwhelmed by direct
sunlight. According to the manual, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can
damage them. So if you want to show pictures of something outdoors, you'll
need to use something else. That turned out to be a minor issue for us,
because we wanted to use one temporarily to show live pics of a building under
construction.
In most cases, you can just point to the camera's web server directly. We
tested it serving multiple 640x480 10fps animation streams. It can fill a 10Mb
ethernet pipe by itself. Most sites will run out of bandwidth before they hit
the camera's limits.
If Axis fixed their supply problems and included a daylight filter (the camera
accepts standard replacement lenses), it would be perfect.

I think that the RZ drives had a strong
tendency to be remarked Conner drives.
Look for some indication of the original
part number. My RZ-23's and 24 had something
on the bottom side, IIRC. I think they also
had the same jumper configuration, perhaps
with the pins moved a bit. Might the 25-L
information be valid?

1. It may be a bug.
2. It may be that the linux writers looked at that bad situation and
decided not to cover it. I sure wouldn't, its a disaster looking for a
place to happen.
The reasons are pretty basic.
a: the tracks laid by that DSQD drive are only about 40% of the width of a
true DSDD 360k drive, meaning there is gonna be huge amounts of noise
from the old data on either side of the new "formatted" track.
b: In addition to double-stepping the heads to make it into a 40 track
drive, a 48 tpi if you will, the spindle speed must be slowed down from
360 to 300 rpm, and the data pump must be switched down from 500
kilobaud to 250 kilobaud.
c: to go along with the spindle speed, data rate changes, the recording
currents applied to the heads should also be reduced IF its a DSDD disk,
something the drive has no sensors to detect, otherwise the heads would
be driven so hard that the recording is actually partially erased by the
excess currant.
Overall, trying to make a 360k diskette in a 1.2 megger will have to
deal with the fact that its probably can only be read in that same
drive, no real 360k drive, with its wider heads, would ever give you an
error free read.
Did I mention its a bad idea? The only snowballs chance of making it
work is if you started with a bulk erased diskette, one erased by one of
those $30 tape erasers they sell at radio shack. You could probably put
that disk in a real 360k drive and read it, but if you ever wrote to it,
and then tried to re-write that same area again in the QD drive, at
least that file would be trashed forever.
Cheers, Gene

Hello Peter,
I upgraded an old ASUS mainboard from 133MHz Pentium to AMD K6-II 350
using a socket adapter. I had to upgrade the BIOS to recognize the
processor, but linux works without problems. Nevertheless problems have
been reported with some chip revisions in the past. Take a look at the
SuSE support databank at http://www.suse.de and search for K6.
My processor shows the following info in /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 5
model : 8
model name : AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor
stepping : 12
cpu MHz : 365.630294
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
sep_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no

fpu_exception : yes

wp : yes

You should be able to get a similar information with other OSes too (W98
"Systemsteuerung").

I tried two IDE controllers with my old PC ,didn't work perfectly.
And answer is ,forget those IDE disks ,too slow for anything.
IDE needs powerful CPU to equal with SCSI drive ,but then IDE's should do
only those easy things ,like copying one file at time ,not like with SCSI
,can do lots of copying and you don't see any lowered performance.
Yes IDE is cheaper ,but lets face it ,shit doesn't have value.

If you don't have module named soundcore.o and es1371.o or es1370.o
,compile it.
Then you only need to modprobe es1370.o or es1371.o ,now try to play
something.
But remember ,cat sound.au > /dev/dsp ,doesn't work ,look in doc's if you
want know why.
If these doesn't work ,try out alsa drivers.

What are the other users like 'Daemon' and 'admin', and what are there

Schön, wenn´s denn so einfach wäre!
Genau das gleiche Problem hatte ich mit Suse-Linux auch und Fdisk
konnte mit der Linux-Partition absolut nichts anfangen. Ich dachte
schon jetzt ist es zu spät.
Also nochmal die Linux-CD rein und mit dem Patitionierprogramm von
Linux (weiss der Teufel wie das hiess) die Linux-Partition zur
Dos-Partition umgewandelt. -> Windows Startdiskette rein, Fdisk
gestartet und Partitionen gelöscht und neu erstellt- dann gings.

Hi
Can someone pls help? I'm trying to install definite linux (which is the
same as Redhat) I keep getting this error message. "The state of the system
is not in sync with the current/updated configuration" You are allowed to
make it current with the current configuartion" When I try to active the
changes to the system, "The state of the system is not n sync with
current/updated configuration. " Do you want to examine the error logs"?
When I say "yes" I want to examine the log, it then says " sun April,time
"activating changes" I think this might have sometime to do with the time
clock. I have a dual boot system with Windows 95. The Windows time clock is
set to GMT. When installing Linux I chose "GMT" or Britian and GB. I live
in Scotland. Even thought I've tried GMT, Britian and GB, I still get the
same error messages. Can anyone pls help?
Thanks
Eliz

I bought a couple of Zoomair PCMCIA cards , one with a PCMCIA ISA socket. The
aim was to put the ISA socket and one card in my 24/7 Suse Server, then use
the other in a Wintel portable. However I've got stuck on the first stage - I
don't know how to get the the PCMCIA ISA socket working. I've tried the
PCMCIA-CS suite but it doesn't recognise the chipset. Can anybody suggest what
it might be, and what you have to do to make it work?
