Greetings
I am running RH 7.0 (Kernel 2.2.17-14). I have a HP/Colorado T3000 tape
drive on that system. I have tried to use both ftape.o and ztape.o with no
success. When I use the command "mt -f /dev/rft0 rewind" it accesses the
floppy drive not the tape drive. I have reread the HOW-To several times
and tried several variations but I cannot get the the tape to work. This
system is an web/ftp/email server. It only has a couple of hundred of MB
to backup. Anyone have any experience with something like this that could
shed some light ?
Thanks

Don't know what distro/kernel-ver you are using, but the "default" 2.4.x
kernels require one to set the config enable scsi cd-rom support (separate
settings for cd-rom and tape) before compiling.

If you
cd /dev
as root, then
ln -s scd0 cdrom
will fail if cdrom exists (this is a feature :-)). If so,
then you just need to delete cdrom before doing the ln -s.
See
man ln
for details.
Good luck!

Can any of the developed drivers, and for which sound card, in the
alsa-project take advantage of CDrom digital output of an audio CD?
This would be nice since the audio output of the CD is subjected to
computer generated electro-magnetic noise. And what is that capability
called?

I am using a Diamond Supra Express right now. It works fine. Read the
requirements on the side of the box very carefully; if they claim the
modem will work in DOS, then it will work in Linux.
> Easy to use for a Linux newbie?
The Supra Express is set up as a "winmodem" out of the box. There are a
set of jumpers on the board that will have to be reset. I recommend you
set the modem to the DOS settings mentioned in the manual: Port 2, IRQ
4. Then you must go into the BIOS and disable the onboard Port 2. You
should be in business.
If your serial port is already in use by another device, then you will
have to set your modem to Port 3 and find an unused IRQ. If you are
dual-booting with Windows, go into the Win device manager and find out
what settings are listed there. Win generally assigns internal modems to
Port 3, and IRQ 11, or similar. You will have to check the modem's
manual and set the jumpers to the same port and IRQ as listed in Win
device manager. Now you will have to add a file to the startup routine:
As "root", create a file called "/etc/rc.d/rc.serial". It will look
something like this:
setserial /dev/ttyS2 UART 16550A port 0x3e8 irq 11 spd_vhi
Again, use the IRQ listed in Win device manager. Test the modem with
minicom--it should be working.
Good Luck!

hi,
I'm still struggling to find good info on ISDN TA's and linux (2.4.1). Does
anyone have any info, or pointers to info on making these damn things work?
Supposedly mine supports a subset of AT commands which would make you think
it could be treated like a modem. Unfortunately, minicom and the TA aren't
on speaking terms so I can't verify this.
I have found nothing of immediate use in the ISDN, PPP, USB or Serial
HOW-TO's for solving this problem.
Many thanks,

Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 19:08:55 GMT
I saw the same thing as you did when I ran "insmod fa311" (note that you need only
type fa311, not fa311.o here) in SuSE Linux 6.4. But it was easy to fix this. I
simply copied the "fa311.c" and "fa311.h" files from the Netgear floppy, and
compiled a new "fa311.o" based on my own running kernel (2.2.14). Then, "insmod
fa311" worked just fine.
My fa311 card has been working great under Linux for months now, and I don't have
to do anything special like restart X or whatever. It just plain WORKS, with no
problems.
Hope this helps.

I have exactly the same problem as you do. Yes, this Compaq BIOS truly sucks. My
setup is exactly the same as yours, and I have tried using IRQ 5 and IRQ 7 and
various other IRQs. But invariably, the problem I had was that when playing .wav or
.mp3 files, they would play for a while and then cut out, and I would see the kernel
message "Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error." This was very
repeatable, but would happen after an unpredictable amount of time. It was very
disappointing, and I finally gave up on trying to get my ESS 1888 onboard audio
working under Linux. I wish I knew how to solve this, but I don't.
But I could play CD's just fine, like you could.
I'm building a new PC now, and plan to buy the Ensoniq PCI sound blaster card to go
in it. My brother-in-law has used it with no problems.

Subject: ttyS00 & ttyS0
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 19:26:25 +0000
I can not get my system to recognise my modem. It has worked fine before
but
recently it refuses to detect. I am running SuSE 7.0 (2.2.16-SMP). I
suspect the problem
is since I flash upgraded my bios on the Mobo (Gigabyte GA6-BXD). The
reason
I suspect this is because I have noticed that when booting up I get the
message that
the kernel has detected ports ttyS00 & ttyS0 instead of just ttyS0. I am
running an
ADSL modem plugged into COM1 with COM2 disabled.
If I enable COM2 also in CMOS then the kernel detects ttyS00, ttyS0,
ttyS01 and
ttyS1. I have never seen this before, and so I suspect that this is why
my modem wont
detect ( modem works fine in windoze, all flavours ). I have done a
clean install of SuSE
so I can be sure I have not set anything wrong.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ken

I forgot to mention that after compiling the new fa311.o, you of course have to
copy it to /lib/modules/2.2.14/net/ or wherever your network module objects go.
Then, type "insmod fa311". Be sure to add "alias eth0 fa311" to your modules.conf
file.
