 Another company to look at is Yottayotta (www.yottayotta.com).

Yeah, and they have a theme song...

Or is that a reason *NOT* to look at their product?

Re: Mosix in FreeBSD.

2000-08-18 Thread Alan Clegg

Out of the ether, Marco Molteni spewed forth the following bitstream:

 Mosix started on BSD/OS, and was then rewritten for Linux. I think the BSD/OS
 version has died, but you may ask the Mosix people, now that the *BSD are
 getting more attention...

I spoke to the author (one of the authors?) of Mosix at LinuxWorld this 
last week, and he was sorry to say that it was *NOT* available on *BSD* 
to the public any longer.

However, the code is still up and running on BSD/OS at the University.

Re: An sblock magic number is...

2000-08-09 Thread Alan Clegg

Out of the ether, Ben Weaver spewed forth the following bitstream:

   DUMP: bad sblock magic number

Note that you are dumping /dev/sd0s1f and not /dev/sd2s1f.  /dev/sd0s1f does
not contain a valid filesystem, thus can't be dumped.

Re: US$100 prize for adding ESS Audiodrive support to pcm

2000-08-05 Thread Alan Clegg

Out of the ether, Andrzej Bialecki spewed forth the following bitstream:

 On a simmilar note: what about a driver for ESS Maestro 2E? I'm certainly
 willing to pay twice as much ($200) for working sound in most of laptops
 within my reach...

Add $100 from me.  There is one that works for some folks out there
by [EMAIL PROTECTED], but it does not work for me.

Re: An IA-64 port?

2000-06-05 Thread Alan Clegg

Out of the ether, W Gerald Hicks spewed forth the following bitstream:

  I don't know if the gas support is public, but you can certainly get the
  Intel assembler for IA-64, which has been open sourced under the BSD
  license from developer.intel.com.

 Anyone know the URL for this?  I've got all the documentation but can't
 seem to find the Intel assembler release.

More info (and GNU utility links) can be found here:

Re: GPS heads up

2000-05-03 Thread Alan Clegg

Out of the ether, Matthew Dillon spewed forth the following bitstream:

 That's what my brother Ben told me, though he used the example of 
 an 18 wheeler plowing into my (airbagless) Subaru.  I think he's going
 to force me to buy a new car :-)

Seeing his input to the FreeBSD community, I think we should take up
a collection and buy Matt a new car with safety devices.  Or, at least
a bicycle helmet.
