Yes, because that's a maximum theoretical number. Reality is always much worse unless you design a test that fits the hardware.

It sports two 64-bit 33 MHz PCI slots and four 32-bit 33 MHz PCI slots, and they are independent. This means that you can get more out of the system. Relatively cheap is all relative, of course, but compared to other hardware that you'd probably need to do 120MBps, it's pretty cheap. I have an array of 75 drives, not really optimized for throughput as much as massive amounts of storage, and when I did a dd on all drives simultaneously, I was seeing 162MBps with relatively low CPU loading. Four Adaptec 39160's made that possible. Obviously, one must split the load up among the PCI busses (or use the 64/33 exclusively) to get these speeds. Side note: the 64/66 version of this board is due out 1Q01, I believe. -- ...

The memory bandwidth is the problem. But the BX only supports PC-100. Drop PC-133 into the system will not help much, except that the overclocking will not worry about memory bomb. The really problem for the current PCI chipset is that its memory controller cannot give us full memory bandwidth. If we can have full memory bandwidth that matches memory chip, then we can get full PCI I/O bandwidth. } If I recall, you're also very much concerned with cost; otherwise I'd be } recommending the ServerWorks chipsets. Yup, I have ServerWorks chipsets and know what they can do; but the cost drag me away from it. VIA is building PRO-266 chip that will support 266MHz FBS.

The wrong charset="koi8-r" made your mail display in my EXMH in a small font, hard to read, so you're lucky I'm answering, (I normally delete unread, when fonts screw up). -------- There is no -7V supply on PC power supplies you'll have to use -5, or -12 & reduce it. What power supply are you using, PC-AT or ATX ? AFAIR they both have -5 & -12V supply, though I wont swear to it. For ATX my book shows pin 12 blue = -12, Pin 18 white = -5. My book doesnt show AT, but just check with a meter, that's what I'd do. How to reduce -12 to -7 Volt: A) go to electronics shop, tell them you problem, ask for a power regulator IC + heat sink to do the job, read leaflet on setting voltage, add maybe 2 resistors to set it, & a capacitor maybe (suggestion: 20 to 50uF, can't be precise without knowing more). B) Do it the crude way with a resistor, Use Ohms Law: Voltage = Current * Resistance V=I R Power Law: Watts = Voltage * Current P=V I ( so power also = Voltage * Voltage / Resistance P=V^2 /R = Current * Current * Resistance P=I^2 R ) The problem with (B) is one neads to know the current load, which may vary with contrast setting. > The other thing, is that LED backlight is heating badly. I thought > it has resistor built-in, but it seems as it does not. What resistor > should i use there for +5V line (typical current for the LED is 260mA). I guess the back lighting is not an LED (light emitting diode, a non linear device) but a resistive material (which may make it easier to calculate). I guess the pixels are LCD Liquid Crystal Display. I don't know what the backlighting should consume (maybe it says on the device ? or specification sheets on the web), but If I'm understanding you right, you'r feeding it 5V & it's drawing 260mA ? Then taking Ohms law: The back lighting resistance is effectively ... V = IR so V/I = R so R = 5 / 0.26 = 20 ohms If you put a 10 Ohm in series increasing total resistance to 30 ohms, that will drop current to 20/30 = 2/3 of original 260mA, ie 173mA Now decide if resistor will overheat: P = I^2 * R = .173 * .173 * 10 = 0.29 Watts `Normal' resistors are often only rated up to 0.25 Watts, so thats just beyond the limit, but OK, But resistors come smaller & larger. Ask a friend or shop or look in catalogue. Resistors are available that will do several watts. If the backlighting is some kind of non linear semiconductor, then the resistor wont have quite the numeric effect I indicated, but something like it, 2nd example: If you want to halve the backlight current: 130mA: add 20 ohms, if you make that out of 2 * 10 ohm resistors in series, then each gets P = I^2 * R Watts = .13 * .13 * 10 = .16 Watts ... well within the 1/4 watt limit for normal resistors. Television shops are more likely to have this stuff than computer shops. If I've made a mistake, I'm sure a fellow list reader will correct me (EG I dont know if backlighting technology is linear or non linear, though LCD (Re. contrast) is known to be semiconductor thus non-linear) Julian - Julian Stacey Independent Munich Unix Consultant http://bim.bsn.com/~jhs/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Dec 6 12:38:59 2000 From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Dec 6 12:38:57 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mass.osd.bsdi.com (adsl-63-202-176-64.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net [63.202.176.64]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 07EF337B400 for ; Wed, 6 Dec 2000 12:38:57 -0800 (PST) Received: from mass.osd.bsdi.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mass.osd.bsdi.com (8.11.0/8.11.1) with ESMTP id eB6Km0F52252; Wed, 6 Dec 2000 12:48:00 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from msmith@mass.osd.bsdi.com) Message-Id: <200012062048.eB6Km0F52252@mass.osd.bsdi.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.1.1 10/15/1999 To: clin@cs.cmu.edu Cc: hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: support for intel 82562ET?

If there is no | way to do adaptive load balancing, is there a way to do link redundancy? | Since the card shows up as two cards, I realize this would be some sort of | software solution.

Also, since they appear as two cards, they *are* two cards. It would be no different from using two pci cards. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Dec 8 0:23:23 2000 From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Dec 8 00:23:22 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from citadel.cequrux.com (citadel.cequrux.com [192.96.22.18]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BBDFE37B400 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 00:23:17 -0800 (PST) Received: (from nobody@localhost) by citadel.cequrux.com (8.8.8/8.6.9) id KAA16921 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 10:23:07 +0200 (SAST) Received: by citadel.cequrux.com via recvmail id 16878; Fri Dec 8 10:22:08 2000 Sender: gram@citadel.cequrux.com Message-ID: <3A3081CD.14B0BA55@cequrux.com> Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 08:38:05 +0200 From: Graham Wheeler Reply-To: gramster@bigfoot.com Organization: Cequrux Technologies X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.75 [en] (X11; U; FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE i386) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: ESS Allegro (ESS1988/ESS1989) support Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all I was wondering if anyone is working on this? The Linux folk recently released a driver as part of the ALSA sound project code. I thought I might take a stab at porting that, but to be honest I'm out of my depth when it comes to the FreeBSD sound subsystem - I should probablt restrict my interest to getting an Ethernet driver working for the Conexant LANfinity chipset in my laptop. But I would be interested to know if support is likely to come soon (else I guess I'll be buying 4Front's OSS package in January when they release a FreeBSD version with Allegro support). regards Gram -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cequrux.com Director, Research and Development WWW: http://www.cequrux.com CEQURUX Technologies Phone: +27(21)423-6065 Firewalls/VPN Specialists Fax: +27(21)424-3656 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Dec 8 14:59:18 2000 From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Dec 8 14:59:15 2000 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from gate.mmrd.com (unknown [216.206.87.254]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 66F4B37B6B4 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 14:58:06 -0800 (PST) Received: from [192.168.0.100] by gate.mmrd.com for freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG id RAA05972; Fri Dec 8 17:58:05 2000 Received: from eagle.mmrd.com (eagle.mmrd.com [10.8.0.51]) by thorn.mmrd.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id RAA06803 for ; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 17:58:57 -0500 Received: by eagle.mmrd.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) id ; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 17:58:04 -0500 Received: from davepad.mmrd.com ([172.25.1.126]) by eagle.mmrd.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2650.21) id YMX22K4Z; Fri, 8 Dec 2000 17:57:59 -0500 Message-Id: <5.0.0.25.2.20001208175645.01f84620@eagle.mmrd.com> X-Sender: mmrd/dave/dalderman@eagle.mmrd.com X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 5.0 Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 17:59:15 -0500 Subject: Re: ESS Allegro (ESS1988/ESS1989) support In-Reply-To: <3A3081CD.14B0BA55@cequrux.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed To: gramster@bigfoot.com, freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG From: Dave Alderman Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Let me guess... You have a Compaq Presario 1700 (or 17XLxxx), right? Is there any information on the Conexant chipset available that might assist in writing a driver? I found it difficult to find drivers for any OS, including the Redmond ones. At 08:38 AM 12/8/2000 +0200, Graham Wheeler wrote: >Hi all > >I was wondering if anyone is working on this?
