[Soekris] Death of a soekris
Hi all So it has happened :( My Soekris net5501 bit the dust yesterday. I attached a DB9 connector from my vt320 while the system was running and *blipp* all lights on the soekris went out. I've done this many times before without problems, perhaps I was lucky then or unlucky now :/ What do you think ? So, my walwart seems alright and provides 12V. An measuring between + and ground on the soekris board gives 10 or so volts. I think it is possible to feed the soekris on the JP10 header, would this make any difference? or is it the same wires as the external connector?

The soekris apparently can handle 5V to 25V, so you shouldn't be having problems with low voltage, but perhaps you could try a different voltage PSU. A quick search in the archives shows that people have managed to fry their soekris with 24V psu, so perhaps you should not go to high. Just my two cents, YMMV.

Are you running with CF, PATA and SATA at the same time? That is not
allowed, but then you should have seen both PATA and SATA when you
removed the CF (with correct settings, which I can't remember what they
are of the top of my head)

I think its a misconception on Otfrieds part. You can use the CF and the Harddrive at the same time.

[Soekris] Choosing Compact flash (Was: Memory upgrade)
Hi All! Thanks to everyone who answered in the "Memory upgrade" thread. I ended up going for the net5501-60, your answers and a bit of counting showed that 256MB probably is quite enough. Now it's time to choose a CF card. I'm considering either 2 GB or 4 GB. I'll try to run vanilla OpenBSD, so I expect at least 1 GB to be necessary for the base install. What are your experience? Is it nice to have the extra headroom the 4GB gives? Also, how important is speed? I think a read speed of 20 MB/s is quite sufficient, no?

[Soekris] Memory upgrade
Hi All. This is my first post to the list. I hope I'm not asking something already answered. I'm planning on buying a net5501 as Christmas gift for myself. I just can't decide whether I should go for the net5501-60 or the net5501-70. I think the processor is good enough in both versions for my purposes. But I'm not sure 256 MB of memory will be enough. I'm planning to run it as an access point and as a file server. Probably also bit torrent, maybe a small web server and as tftp server for net booting other machines. What is your experience, is 256 enough. Is it difficult to upgrade later? I'm not very handy with the soldering iron and I guess finding the memory chips might not be trivial.
