Dear everyone,
I've got a enhanced 386 memory adapter for IBM MCA machines. There should be
a patch for linux for these adapters. I can't seem find the patch. I know it
is a horrible one, but now i can throw them away for linux.
Please help me !
Greatings mr. Van Ommen

How old is your CD-ROM drive? I don't think many, if any, can read
a CD-RW disk created in a CD-RW drive. If you make a CD-R disk, then
I would think you should have very few problems unless you have a really
old CD-ROM drive. I have made several music CD's and they have played
in CD players several years old. I think it has something to do with
the reflectivity of the dyes used to make the CD-RW disks.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You did precisely that when you asserted, erroneously, that I am a
right wing religious fanatic.
You, sir, contradict yourself. You aren't even worth bothering with.
Have fun in your self-righteous fantasy world.
PLONK!

I have a HP dj400c printer and had a bit of time getting it to print
other than ascii. I had 3 configuration problems:
1) I didn't have ghostscript installed.
2) I was using the HP 400/500/ printer driver that came with my
RH5.1 edition (what a mistake!)
3) I also neglected to edit my /etc/printcap file to point to the
new/correct driver I downloaded (magicfilter-1.2)
Note: I used the utility which automatically writes my
/etc/printcap file.
Anyway, I took care of all 3 of these problems and I can now print from
any appilication in Linux.
Hopes this helps.
cul8er, Jeff

Here is what I would like to see happen: A small company designs an OS
using an object model. All the components of the system are objects with
fixed interfaces. The OS is given away free. Other companies are free to
replace any objects in the system as they wish, so long as they don't
change the interfaces. If they market their own version of the OS, the
will pay the original company a small licensing fee. They are allowed to
add interfaces to the objects, and to add new objects. A Linux type
culture of open source, free software would be encouraged, but not to
the exclusion of people who want to make money. A standards committee
would adjudicate as to which extensions to the system would become
standard. Making an extension standard would mean that its original
implementation would be given away freely with the system.
I can see a lot of ways in which this picture could go wrong, but if
done right, I think it could work.

Subject: OPTi /dev/dsp problem
Date: Sat, 15 May 1999 18:34:48 -0400
I have an opti based cheapo sound card and so far i have used isapnp and
mad16 modules to get it to a point where the card is initialized and i
can play sounds through /dev/audio (by catting .au sounds to it).
however, i cannot get sounds to play through /dev/dsp: they are being
played too slowly (ie, instead of a cat, it sounds liek a cow). you can
reproduce this sound with sox on /dev/audio by changing the bitrate of a
16khz wav to 8000 (sox -r8000). anyway, i've had this problem before,
and successfully got the card working, but it was more than a year ago
and now i cant remember what i did to fix it. if anyone has any ideas,
i'd appreciate hearing them.
thanks,
ignacio
