(unless someone else gets in first). I am willing to experiment. I'll get my Dad to help, he is handy with circuits and stuff. He mentioned something called a one-shot circuit (I think he said) but he wasn't sure of the terminology and it is a while since he's done stuff like that. Thanks for at least trying, I know this P5A is really old technology. I'd like to make it work as a server but I'm not holding my breath. :-) > -|- Hurgh -|- > > > __________________________ > Website: http://www.hurgh.org/ > Forums: http://forums.hurgh.org/ > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bob Lockie" <bjlockie@lockie.ca> > To: <freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org> > Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 2:14 PM > Subject: Re: ATX boards and restart after power failure > > > >>>Lol, just got this email just after i sent my last one,. so sorry to use > > up > >>>the bandwidth :) >>> >>>Have you tried getting a new firmware revision, it might have support > > for > >>>it?? >> >>I flashed the latest BIOS, I'm pretty sure it is the hardware that was >>lacking. >>I did a search of the web and found a disussion on the list from 1998 >>about this problem. >>I am hoping that the original person that said he could design a circuit >>to hack it is still on this list. >> >> > > http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=3155+0+archive/1998/freebsd-hardware/19981011.freebsd-hardware > >>>-|- Hurgh -|- >>> >>> >>>__________________________ >>>Website: http://www.hurgh.org/ >>>Forums: http://forums.hurgh.org/ >>> >>> >>> >>>----- Original Message ----- >>>From: "Bob Lockie" <bjlockie@lockie.ca> >>>Cc: <freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org> >>>Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2003 1:06 PM >>>Subject: Re: ATX boards and restart after power failure >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>>On 05/13/03 22:45 Bob Lockie spoke thusly >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>>>Does anybody remember this topic? >>>>> >>>>>DATE: 10/19/1998 02:35:30 >>>>>SUBJECT: RE: ATX boards and restart after power failure >>>>> >>>>>I have an Asus P5A r1.04 mainboard that I want to use for a server but >>>>>it does not reboot after a power failure. >>>>>r1.06 of the P5A does but that doesn't help me. >>>>> >>>>>Did anybody find a work around? >>>>>I've contacted Asus but I expect them to just say that I am out of luck >>>>>with the revision board that I have. >>>> >>>>I wasn't clear. >>>>The BIOS setting for this is not selectable because it is not supported >>>>on the revision of the mainboard that I have (1.04). >>>>It was later added to revision 1.06 of the mainboard but that doesn't >>>>help me.
