I recently benchmarked a K6-3 on a VIA-based EPOX m'board with a
Samsung 4gig ATA-66 capable disk drive using kernel 2.2.13 from
Slackware 7. The system installed & ran with no problems. I patched
the kernel source to include ATA-33, which also ran with no problems.
My "benchmark" was compiling the kernel; ATA-33 decreased the compile
time from 3:47 to 3:40, a whopping 3% improvement. This is in the
same ballpark as a 6% performance increase claimed by someone who
patched a kernel to ATA-66.
I don't consider a kernel compile in 64M of ram a significant disk
benchmark. It does show me that, given how I use computers, ide
vs. ATA-66 vs. scsi makes little difference.

signal processing for non specialists
Hello,
On this site you will find information (downloadable files, links with added
value, little tools like a fractionnal multiplier ) to help you to design a
little signal processing system. It's not a site for super-specialists, but
for people they want to learn the basics in this area.
Thank you,

Subject: changeing irq's
Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 02:26:19 +1200
Hi
I am trying to get my modem working. linux (turbolinux) is finding the port
correctly but not the irq (it says irq 2 when it is irq 9).
I have tried using
setserial /dev/modem irq 9
and
setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 9
but it isn't changing the irq.
i.e. if I do a setserial /dev/modem it is still set to 2.
how can I get it to change????

I too had many lockups with a dual celeron setup until I flashed the
latest bios. An unattended machine runing seti would lockup every
couple of days -- that same machine, after the 'flash' has been up 15
days now.
The same board in another pc, with only one celeron, is ultra stable --
it's been months since I had a lockup (i.e. no lockup since I removed
the second celeron). When I have reason to take that machine down (my
firewall), I'll flash the bios in that machine too.

I don't have the Abit board yet. But I've been running two Asus
SMP boxes for a couple of years.
I found high quality memory works better. ECC is not
necessary, unless you want to go with more than 256MB.
Abit has also released its own Gentus-Linux 2.0 distro. It's
optimized for all Abit mobo, with native ata66 supports, soft
RAID, VIA chip sets, SMP, amongst other things.
You can download it for free. According to the Abit web site. A
CD-ROM version will comes with all Abit mobo later this month.
You can read about it and download the Gentus Linux
(675,220K)from
http://www.gentus.com/about_gentus.html

Yeah, especially now the Celeron 500 is dirt cheap.
Yes, I've read both good and bad things about this board as
well. Asus SMP boards are extremely nice, but a bit pricy,
especially for a toy box.

well, the 8390 module not flinching is a good thing, iirc, there's quite a
lot more nic types based on it & the 8390.o is used by all of these drivers.
the wd 8003/13 and the 3c503 being are just some of the more prominent
besides ne2k. maybe try some of these drivers...

Sirs/Madams:
Will someone please explain, step by step and in plain English, how
to get my LS 120 drive to work under Mandrake 7.0? I'm running on an
AMD K6-II 400 MHz, with Award 4.51 PG BIOS (which does support LS 120).
During startup, Linux recognizes the LS 120, but I can't seem to
actually use it. I've tried a couple of things suggested by other
newsgroups, but I must be doing something wrong. Any help
appreciated...

Firstly, irq9 for a modem is suspect: are you certain it's not a
winmodem?
Secondly: on PC architecture, irq2 and irq9 are one and the same (irq2
is used to cascade the second interrupt controller via irq9).

Good day -
I am running Mandrake 7.0 and would like to get my Canon BJC-240
working there. However, I can find no documentation other than The
Linux Printing HOWTO on it. Unfortunately, they do not say how to get
this printer to work under Linux.
I tried printtool, but the printer is not listed, but the BJ-240 is.
Does this mean that my printer should do at least bw? Does anyone know
if it is possible to get this printer to work? I hate to buy a new
printer...
Thanks for hearing me out and any advice you can throw my way.

Try http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM and look under index by name. You'll find that
the files are coded by distribution. You'll find that there are several versions
available, try to match to your Redhat 6.0 or try one of the Mandrake versions.
All the dependencies are listed when you get to the download region.
Use "rpm -ivvh libxml*" to install from the command line or use kpackage from X
windows if you have it intalled.
Try "man rpm" for info on rpm if you have the man documentation installed or
"rpm --help".
Visit one of many sites for info how to use rpm. Redhat's CD will have the
documentation on it as well.

Go to http://rufus.w3.org. Click on "go directly to RPM database".
Click on "index by name". Click on "packages beginning with the letter L".
Find the "libxml" section. I'm running with libxml-1.7.3-1mdk. This is
from Mandrake, but Mandrake is an enhanced version of RedHad and it works
for me. You might want to get the libxml-devel-... package as well.

Subject: Broken HPT366?
Date: Wed, 10 May 2000 00:19:20 GMT
I suspect I have a broken HPT366 chip or motherboard, but I wanted
to see if anyone else had similar problems.
I have an Abit BP-6, dual celeron 466's (not overclocked),
with the HPT 366 chip on-board. The chip reads,
HighPoint JAPAN
HPT366
9920 L010
(incidentally, I noticed on http://www.highpoint-tech.com/hpt366.htm
that some chips seem to have newer "lot" numbers).
And I have three hard drives:
QUANTUM FIREBALL CR13.0A
Maxtor 52049U4 (x2)
I've tried various combinations of the Quantum and the Maxtors
on the two HPT IDE channels, and in every case, devices on the
first HPT IDE channel are not recognized by the BIOS, nor by
Linux 2.3.99pre6 (probably as a consequence of the BIOS not
initializing them). For example, with the Quatum on the plain
IDE channel and one Maxtor on each HPT channel, Linux reports
the following (my comments in []'s),
HPT366: onboard version of chipset, pin1=1 pin2=2
HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 98
HPT366: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

hdg: 40020624 sectors (20491 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=39703/16/63,
UDMA(66)
The second channel works fine, with any of the individual drives,
or with two drives on the same channel (master/slave). I want
to take advantage of software RAID-0, and my impression is
that one-drive-per-channel is they way to go.
I tried three different UDMA/66 cables (80 wires, blue end on
the mobo), with no difference.
I upgraded my flash with BP6_NJ.BIN (1.21 I believe), so I get
the Blue HPT bios screen, but devices on the first HPT channel
are still not being detected.
So my questions are:
Is there anything I can do to get drives deteced on the first
HPT channel?
Am I missing something?
Do you think my HPT366 is broken?
Thanks in advance,

...so what sort of error messages do you get when you try to use the
thing? Those might help a bit. ANyway:
0. Find out where the LS-120 drive is. DUring boot, the kernel should
spit out a message like "hdd: ATAPI LS-120 drive". Remember what showed
up in front of the "LS-120 drive". The kernel's boot messages are stored
in /var/log/ somewhere, usually with a filename of "boot.log" or
"boot.msg".
1. Insert a formatted LS-120 disk.
2. Become root
3. mkdir /mnt/ls120 (only do this once!)
4. mount /dev/hdX /mnt/ls120 (replace X with the LS-120's actual
"drive letter")
If that worked, then the files on the LS-120 disk will now be accessible
under /mnt/ls120.

I have this TC5045 network adapter, which seems to be the same as the

except in an ISA version (actually I
bought a box of six for $5). It came with a manual and a 5-1/4 floppy,
but all that's
on there is the diagnostic (useful!) and odi/netware drivers (not
useful). Compaq's
site doesn't have anything more. It is a Thomas-Conrad TC5045 16-bit
ISA
ethernet controller. I have it jumpered to use io 0x300, irq 10, and
dma 7, and the
etools program agrees these are the settings, and reports the ethernet
address to be
00:80:23:65:0C:59.
When I try to use it in Linux, here's what happens:
[root@hades6 /root]# modprobe 8390

Note that the ethernet addresses it reports are not the same as the one
reported by
the utility.
More info on the card:
The largest chip (it's a weird kind of socket--looks like a socket for
mounting
surface-mount chips) is labeled SONIC S9330AK and also has DP83932 on
it.
There is a 16-pin chip with the SONIC logo and "P9330" and also DP8392
near the
BNC port.
There are 14 other chips on the board, most 20-pin and some 24-pin.
I noticed that a pin is cut on a chip marked GAL16V8A-15LNC; it looks
deliberate. There are two of these chips; the other one does not have a
cut pin.
Note that there is not any chip marked "intel" or "82596" on the board.
Sorry I don't have a digital camera to take a picture of it.
Thanks is advance for any help.
