Are you running comedi as root? I used to try running it as a user, but got
too many headaches. It could be that you don't have read/write ability to
/dev/comediX, perhaps even if you appear to.
Check out the Comedi list archive, I think some people were just talking
about the PCI6034 card which must be close to yours. If you post this message
to the comedi list, I'm sure someone will give you an answer...

Ronnie,
I have an MAudio Dio 2448 and it works great with the commercial OSS driver (which was
$30, but worth it). I was also looking at using the ALSA driver but I really couldn't
find anywhere on there
website that my card was supported 100%. So I ended up going with the OSS commercial
driver. But first, I tested the driver with the evaluation version and it seemed to
work fine and then I bought
it.
Anyways, if you get a chance, I would try the OSS sound drivers to see if they work
for you.
By the way, what type of things are you going to be doing with sound with linux? Are
you going to be using your system as a multitrack recorder or hard disk recorder?,
Sound Editing? I would really
like to know because I would like to talk to others who have done this with linux to
find out what types of setups they have.
At this point, I here's my setup:
Pentium III 550 Mhz
128 MB RAM
10gig hd and 2.5 gig hd
Mandrake Linux 7.0.2
Maudio Dio 2448 PCI soundcard
Finally got BroadCast 2000 to work on my system correctly. Haven't played around with
it much but it seems pretty stable..

How much slower are IDE drives really? Are you comparing them to SCSI?

A lot. I suspect it has more to do with the design of the drive than
the bus it's on, suggesting that some IDE drives are faster than some
SCSI drives; however, the balance is usually tilted far in the other
direction.
For a reference point, I have a 7200rpm IDE drive which is not
perceptibly faster than a 5400rpm IDE drive I also have. Both are
very obviously slower than a 7200rpm SCSI drive I have.
> Are you comparing them to SCSI?
As opposed to Firewire, USB, or what have you? I would expect USB
hard drives to be slower. With modern drives, you'd hit your head on
the bandwidth maximum pretty fast if data comes out of the cache.
Firewire, I've never used. Parallel port drives? Yeah, right. I'll
stay out of _that_ particular mess, thankyouverymuch.

Ah, but *which* few percent? Sure, there are loads of PeeCees running
a little server software with low utilisation. But the heavy-duty big
fsck-off servers (on which lots of crucial parts of the 'net and many
businesses depend) are usually something else, and Sun has a healthy
share of that market. Not all servers are equal in importance...

Well, your SuperProbe is too old. The card is newer than it. Get a new

Subject: ISA Modem Config Problem
Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2000 15:00:41 GMT
Hello,
I have recently been experiencing a problem with my USR ISA modem. The
modem was
working fine until last night.
Things that changed:
- Removed broken 3com ISA NIC (the victim of an electrical storm
this weekend :( )
- Installed Linksys PCI NIC
- Installed netdriver-2.0 package for updated Tulip driver
I got the new NIC configured and running properly, but then started
experiencing problems
with the ISA modem. I was initially able to get online but about 10
minutes after
connecting I
heard a sound comming from the modem as if it had hung up. My ppp
software didn't
detect
a disconnect and when I manually disconnected it and tried to connect
again I received a
'Modem is Busy' error.
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 returned the following:
port 0x02f8 irq 3 uart Unknown
Figuring there was a problem with isapnp I ran the program again and
received the
following error:
Fatal: Error occurred executing request ISOLATE PRESERVE
Thinking that maybe ripping out the old 3com ISA NIC was part of the
problem I
commented
out the old entries for the card in isapnp.conf and reran isapnp
receiving the same error
message.
I then proceeded to run pnpdump to get info about the ISA Modem (the
only ISA card I have
at
this time). pnpdump reported that there were no cards to be found.
Is it possible that the netdriver package I installed introduced an
incompatibility with the
ISA
code? Could the electrical storm which took out the NIC have damaged
other ISA
hardware? How could I tell?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Distro: RedHat 6.2
kernel: 2.2.14-5.0
CPU: AMD Athlon 700MHz
M'board: Biostar M7VKB + VIA KT133/686A
NIC: 3C905C
NIC driver: v0.99, then the 3COM 1.0.0i version.
[BTW, I solved the x86_serial_nr=1 problem as an aside ;)]
What happened: In a batch of four PCs, two with RedHat installed,
two with NT 4, all underwent apparent network failure within a short
space of time.
The Redhat boxes were having a large file ftp'd to them at the time
over the company LAN. The connection was seen to drop. The
linux servers affected still thought the interfaces were good, (ifconfig
-a)
but took an age for netstat -nr to return the default gateway. Prior to
this, the machines had happily lived on the LAN. So I am inclined to
blame the heavy NIC usage.
Reboots made no difference, except that no attempt was made to
access the network, claiming the network is unreachable.
The NT boxes were fixed by upgrading the NIC driver. The linux
machines still fail to see the LAN.
What is most surprising is the fact that whatever has happened, a
reboot doesn't fix things, if only until heavy NIC use is made.
If it's any consolation, I can't get FreeBSD 4 to see the LAN either.
Has anyone else come across this?
Could respondents please send to [EMAIL PROTECTED],

Is anyone using a DLT IV drive with linux? If so did it require any
