These are âill-behavedâ applications. Ill-behaved applications fall into two categories: some of them read the Int 41h data and then use the conventional Int 13h interface for accessing the device. These are âcompatibleâ ill- behaved applications. The remaining ill-behaved applications read the Int 41h/46h data and then access the drive in a proprietary manner. These are incompatible ill-behaved applications. 4.3.1 Compatible Ill-Behaved Applications Compatible ill-behaved applications require that address 0, 2, and 14 (Cylinder, Head, and Sector) information in the FDPT be identical to the information returned in Int 13h Fn 08h. This class of application normally fails to call Int 13h Fn 08h to get device geometry, but uses Int 13h Fn 02h to read data. 4.3.2 Incompatible Ill-Behaved Applications Incompatible ill-behaved applications require that address 0, 2, and 14 information have the geometry returned by ID drive data words 1, 3, and 6, a requirement that can violate restrictions placed on Standard FDPTs. Further, these incompatible ill-behaved applications may not check for the Translated FDPT signature (A0h at byte 3). Examples of incompatible ill-behaved applications are SCO Unix and early versions of Novell Netware. 4.3.3 Resolving the Compatibility Problem The BIOS can only serve one class of these ill- behaved applications each time the system boots. This presents the BIOS and the USER with a compatibility problem. Phoenix has chosen to add a Setup field which allows the user to select which ill-behaved applications will function correctly. The menu item reads âLarge Disk Access Modeâ. This field defaults to âDOSâ, which creates a Translated FDPT. Compatible ill-behaved applications will operate correctly when âDOSâ is selected. The remaining selection for Large Disk Access Mode is âOTHERâ. Incompatible ill-behaved applications will function correctly with âOTHER,â which creates a Standard FDPT. Because this format uses only physical geometries, âOTHERâ creates problems for the compatible ill- behaved applications by generating an illegal Standard FDPT with more than 1024 cylinders. The conventional Int 13h interface, however, continues to use a Translated FDPT, which is maintained internally by the BIOS, and is accessable only through Int 13h Fn 08h. SETUP never changes the method of translation used by the BIOS. Well behaved DOS and Windows applications continue to function normally because they only use Int 13h Fn 08h, which returns translated geometry. --- end quote --- ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Phoenix BIOS, hard disk data loss
On the chance that this information might help someone else. Some months ago, just after buying a Tyan Tiger s2466 MPX dual processor motherboard and installing FreeBSD 5.0 on it, I experienced a lot of data loss (lost files and directories, unrecoverable by fsck). I thought the problem might be related to disk geometry (I'm fairly new to FreeBSD and the sysinstall disk geometry warning concerned me). However, after a couple months I decided to change just one setting in the Phoenix BIOS: Large Disk Access Mode There are two options for Large Disk Access Mode: "DOS" and "Other" The help text for this item says: "This option denotes that a hard drive with more than 1024 cylinders, more than 16 heads and or more than 64 tracks per sector is present. Choose OTHER when using OSes such as UNIX." So, at first I had chosen "Other." However, after all the data loss, I felt I had nothing (more) to lose so I changed it to DOS just to see if it made a difference. Apparently it did. I have experienced no more lost data (from hard disk corruption or problems) in the six or so months since I made the change. Maybe this will help someone else.

Phoenix: Native or Linux?
Has anyone compared the native FreeBSD Phoenix with the Linux version? I'm trying to decide if it's worth building the native version on my laptop, since it will take a while. Any noticeable difference in speed, features, stability, and so on? NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed. Thanks. jm -- My other computer is your windows box.

Phoenix browser and FreeBSD (Linux binaries) 4.6.2?
I'm trying to get the Linux nightly binaries of Phoenix running. It's after some libraries that it claims aren't on my system - stuff like GTK+ 1.2, which certainly *should* be. Anyone else having any luck? (I'm specifically after getting the nightly binaries running, rather than bothering to set up things to pull CVS and compile by hand. I've got WINE installed, I guess I could try the Win32 binaries ;-) - d. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Phoenix browser problems
Hi all, Has anyone gotten Phoenix to work in FreeBSD? I'm running: FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #0: Mon Aug 5 01:39:14 EDT 2002. When I follow the install & run directions for the Linux version I get: ./phoenix-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory When I try to symlink to /usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk12.so I get: ./phoenix-bin: error while loading shared libraries: ./libgtk-1.2.so.0: ELF file OS ABI invalid Any ideas why Linux emulation is failing in this instance?
