I don't remember the details, but I think one of the ISA signal lines is asserted by the ISA card to indicate if it wants to do 8 or 16 bit transfers. For some reason that I don't remember, all the devices in a single segment of the I/O space may simultaneously assert their preference/requirement when any one of them is queried. This is probably just a consequence of cheap bus design. Therefore you want all the cards in the same I/O space segment to use the same transfer width. I vaguely recall that the penalty for mixing types is that the 16 bit cards end up doing 8 bit bus transfers (i.e. slowly).

When I use SB Pro emulation mode it will only manage 22 kHz/Stereo/8bit. It works but not with full quality. So I tried the pcm0 driver but it will not work, it only plays the first buffer-2-dma transfer size. I have checked that the driver really get it's irq when the dma is complete. And the dma channel is also checked with help of the laptop's manual. But if I change the function 'dsp_wrintr()' in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/snd/dmabuf.c (fbsd ver=2.2.7-R) And let it set 'b->dl = 0;' it will at least not just stop. But play some very noisy(tm) sound. But I can still recognise the sound. Maybe someone have fixed this ..? (I can't easily just plug in another card in this case.. unfortunly) Btw, I have the PDF file documentation for the ESS 1868 chipset. /Peter Email: pb@NOSPAMwave.campus.luth.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sun Nov 1 12:52:00 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA04573 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Sun, 1 Nov 1998 12:52:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (castles355.castles.com [208.214.167.55]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA04566 for ; Sun, 1 Nov 1998 12:51:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (LOCALHOST [127.0.0.1]) by dingo.cdrom.com (8.9.1/8.8.8) with ESMTP id MAA05686; Sun, 1 Nov 1998 12:51:15 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Message-Id: <199811012051.MAA05686@dingo.cdrom.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: Julian Elischer cc: Nicolas Souchu , Steve Friedrich , "freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org" , Marc Bouget Subject: Re: Hardware monitoring capabilities In-reply-to: Your message of "Sun, 01 Nov 1998 11:17:45 PST."

There is now a driver for these cards available at the following location: http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Macronix/3.0 source for FreeBSD 3.0 http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Macronix/2.2 source for FreeBSD 2.2.x The Macronix PMAC chips are tulip clones. So far I have run tests with both a 98713A and a 98715A. The 98725 reports the same PCI device ID as the 98715 part, however it's revision is 0x3x where the 98715's revision is 0x2x. The original 98713 (without the A) appears to support an MII bus for external transceivers, however the 98713A and up all use an internal transceiver with NWAY support. For the interested, datasheets and app notes can be had at www.macronix.com. One should read carefully the app note for the 98715A. It explains that in order to put the PMAC chips in proper operating mode, you have to write a magic value to CSR16 (there's one value for the 98713 and another for all the other models). The app note tells you what values to write but doesn't say what the various magic bits mean. Of the two boards I have, the 98713A is made by NDC and is called a SOHOware fast ethernet card. The 98715A was supplied to me by Macronix and has no vendor name on it, but its ethernet address appears to contain Accton's OUI. To add the driver to an existing system, do the following: - Unpack your kernel source code under /usr/src. - Download the corrent version of if_mx.c and if_mxreg.h for your system (3.0 or 2.2.x) and copy them to /sys/pci. - Edit /sys/conf/files and add a line that says: pci/if_mx.c optional mx device-driver - Edit your kernel config file (e.g. /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC) and add a line that says: device mx0 - Config and compile a new kernel and boot it. As usual, please send success or failure reports to wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu. NOTE: I still have not received a lot of feedback on the PNIC or Winbond drivers, or even the RealTek driver for that matter. If you are using one of these drivers, please let me know. If you are using one of these at 100Mbps, I'd be especially interested to hear what sort of performance you observe. In my tests, I typically see about 9.5MB/sec on transmit, which seems a bit weak. The Winbond does a bit better than this (10MB/sec). Remember folks: I'm waiting for feedback from _you_ so that I can judge when a driver is stable enough to merge into the repository. The more information you give me, the faster I can add these drivers to the system. Actually, I'm also interested in performance stats for real DEC tulip chips with the de driver.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, We are going to purchase five PCs before the end of the year. They will be configured as workstations running under FreeBSD 3.0. We are now looking for a good motherboard: dual PII processor, UW SCSI, etc. Our usual choices are Asus and Iwill, but our main PC supplier offers now new machines based on Supermicro motherboards. More precisely, the Supermicro P6DGS, which is based on the Intel 440GX chipset. However, I don't have any references about that motherboard, and I would like to hear any stories from people using it with FreeBSD 3.0. Moreover, I don't know anything about the 440GX chipset. How does it compare to the 440BX? Tom's hardware guide doesn't mention this chipset.

I'm summarizing: [From "Christopher R. Bowman" ]: Tyans S1836DLUAN THUNDER 100 seems to be a _REALLY_ nice board, its got it all and the only thing I would change is a dual channel U2W scsi Controller for the dual UW one. I think this is going to be my next board. [ME]: Thanks for your recommendation. I know that Tyan has good products, but unfortunately Tyan mb's are not an option for us because lack of distribution in our area. [Gregory Benjamin ]: Try this url: http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/440GX/p6dgs.htm [ME]: That was the first thing I did! :-) However, Supermicro does not offer enough technical information about their mb's. [Jonathan Walters]: I believe that chipset is only for Slot-2 processors (Xeon). Tyan is now advertising one on their website as well. [ME]: The P6DGS mb accepts _only_ Pentium II processors. Supermicro offers other motherboards (called S2Gxx), also based on the 440GX chipset, _only_ for Xeon processors. So I would like to know whether there is some benefits from using a 440GX/PentiumII mb instead of a 440BX one. ["Plucker, Prentice" ]: Check out www.tomshardware.com for some info on this board. I avoided it because I am not a fan of the AMI Winbios. [ME]: I did it, but I could not find anything. Perhaps those motherboards are too new. I don't like the AMI Winbios, but... has the BIOS any importance when running an operating system (such as FreeBSD) which does not use the BIOS services? My conclusion: Intel and its marketing strategy ("new" chipsets and processors three or four times in a year) should go to the hell right now (together with Microsoft, of course). -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jose M.

The 440GX does not support the 512MB DIMMs, but does support 256MB DIMMs for a maximum memory capacity of 1GB. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Tue Nov 3 08:44:14 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA01966 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Tue, 3 Nov 1998 08:44:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from tango.icnet.ukrpack.net (gw-IC.icnet.ukrpack.net [212.1.97.65]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id IAA01914 for ; Tue, 3 Nov 1998 08:43:58 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from og@icnet.ukrpack.net) Received: from localhost (og@localhost) by tango.icnet.ukrpack.net (8.9.1/8.9.1-ICnet-MailHub) with ESMTP id SAA10139; Tue, 3 Nov 1998 18:43:31 +0200 (EET) Date: Tue, 3 Nov 1998 18:43:31 +0200 (EET) From: Oleg Galenok To: Mike Smith cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: ASUStek motherboard.

Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, The GX is the next-generation BX, per Intel. It allows for more memory (2GB) than the BX. Also, if the board has slot-2, Xeon processors can be used. Given a choice, I would suggest going with the S2DGU than the P6DGU, if you plan to upgrade to future Xeon CPUs. The Xeons also seem to be more server-oriented than the P-IIs. Since the chipset is slot 1 and 2 compatible, there is a possibility that most of the motherboard manufacturers will use the GX over the BX soon. You might want to take a look at: http://developer.intel.com/design/agpsets/440gx/ Good luck, Kedar. Take care, Kedar Rajadnya. ASA Computers, Inc.

Does anyone have any experience with the AIT drives? Any >favorites when it comes to the DLTs? We recently (about 2 months ago) got an ADIC DLT 4000 7-slot autoloader. It has been working well, with the following caveats: * Hardware compression is on by default. To turn it off, I have been told that I need to manually press a button just before the first file of a tape is written. Naturally, I find this obnoxious. (I was informed just yesterday afternoon thaht there may be a way to do this via SCSI commands, so there's some hope that this isn't going to be quite so annoying.) (Reason I want compression off is that I'm using amanda, and I do compression on the client side, before the data traverse our network. And we have a couple of largish filesystems that are mostly gzipped tarballs....) * There was a firmware "gotcha" -- if the device had been powered on, but then power was removed, when power was restored, it stayed turned off. Oops. We ended up RMAing the unit to replace the firmware -- I refuse to rely on procedures that involve the use of Microsoft code for anything important. (ADIC paid for the drop-ship, so our downtime was rather minimal.) And that shouldn't bite anyone now. * From a software perspective, I'm accustomed to numbering things (such as slots on an autoloader) starting from 0; thus, we'd have slots 0 - 6 for this device. Well, the device itslef (both in the firmaware & the physical embossed slot designations) uses 1 - 7. Yes, tis is minor -- but I'm hoping to document things enough that someone would be able to deal with the device if I should go on vacation or something. Jason Thorpe's "chio" driver (& friends) work just fine with the device. It is claimed that the drive in the auto-loader is field-replaceable, so one could upgrade from a DLT 4000 to a DLT 7000. I have *not* tried this myself.

I'll answer in his stead (and to both questions), or at least try: DFE-530TX is a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet card, manufactured by DLink. DFE-500TX was a DEC 21140?? based adapter card (where ?? is anything from " " to AE at least). I think DFE-530TX is also DEC 2114* based, though I may not vouch by it. It may then work with the de driver (but may not).
