Just try again with a completely open configuration (a pass all as rule 1 should work).

A little off topic but that is not particularly fast. A 450Mhz PII, 128Mb RAM and a single 18Gb Cheetah can do it in around 50mins. Paul.

Actually, I've seen this setup finish a "buildworld" in 75 minutes or so... but I'm just talking about the disk being fast. Hell, Josef, if what we're going for is overall speed, let's hook this disk up to an Adaptec 3940U2W and plug it into a quad-Xeon with 4GB or so of RAM. As long as we've got enough cooling, that ought to beat most everything else out there. Greg -- Gregory S.

I have both professional and personal interests in DV (I use a helmet mounted PC1 for sports video), and would love to play with it on my unix boxen although there are a few impediments: 1. Matsushita (Panasonic) has patents applicable to anything which extracts video and/or audio from the a DV data stream (see US Patent 5,691,819) as well as ones on the most obvious techniques for transcoding to DV. This is a huge impediment to bazaar style development of most unix DV software, and it would be wonderful if you or some one else in geographic proximity to them were to work out some sort of compatable licensing agreement. As of 1997, their General Manager of Intellectual Property was Mr. R. Shimizu c/o AVC Products Development Lab 2-15 Matsuba-cho, Kadoma-shi Osaka 571 Japan FAX: +81-6-905-5408 2. Patent issues aside, to do anything really fun with DV you need documentation (the shuffling algorithm, code book, quantization tables), with the obvious source being the "Blue Book". Unfortunately, that carries a 50,000 yen price tag (about $440 USD at the current exchange rates). Fortunately, the subset of it embodied by DVCPRO/D7 (locked audio, 4:1:1 sampling on both NTSC and PAL) is described in the affordable ($55) SMPTE 306m standard. 3. You also need to get the data to disk. I poked at the problem for parts of two evenings (write() often blocks long enough to cause dropped packets), and came up with the following program ftp://ftp.poohsticks.org/dv/capture-0.1.tar.gz which captures a user-specified number of DV frames off a Lynx board. In theory, PAL should work too although for obvious reasons I've only tested NTSC. The two process write behind code needed to avoid dropped packets is C++, and the DV structure definitions use __attribute__((packed)) so egcs is needed to compile it. With a few changes to capture based on time code and with a matching output program, this will make it possible to do assemble edits separated by simple cuts. 4. I find this interesting, have seen a handful of comments on the dv mailing list regarding dv under unix, and have set up a mailing list for discussing the technical and legal issues of dv under free unicies frunix-dv-request AT poohsticks DOT org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Feb 3 19:50:20 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id TAA02408 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Wed, 3 Feb 1999 19:50:20 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from neptune.psn.net (neptune.psn.net [207.211.58.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA02391 for ; Wed, 3 Feb 1999 19:50:18 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chemtechweb@psn.net) Received: from 3-36.phx.psn.net ([209.63.183.66] helo=psn.net) by neptune.psn.net with esmtp (PSN Internet Service 2.10 #1) for freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org id 108Fo0-0005hI-00; Wed, 3 Feb 1999 20:50:16 -0700 Message-ID: <36B91950.1B0BBD65@psn.net> Date: Wed, 03 Feb 1999 20:51:44 -0700 From: Emmanuel Gravel Reply-To: chemtechweb@psn.net Organization: Orbit Communications X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.08 [en] (Win98; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: PS/2 ports on a Dell Dimension XPS R450 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I just got this machine, never had a problem installing and finding the PS/2 port on other computers, but for some reason, this one doesn't find it. I'm still pretty much a newbie at this. I have FreeBSD 2.2.7 release CD's from last October. This motherboard is the one without the onboard sound card, if that's any help. Here are the error messages: psm0: current command byte:0047 kbdio: TEST_AUX_PORT status:00fa kbdio: DIAGNOSE status:0055 kbdio: TEST_KBD_PORT status:00fa rsm: keyboard port failed psm0: the aux port is not functionning (250). psm0 not found at 0x60 The keyboard (also PS/2) works fine, and I know that the mouse and keyboard are both in the right port. This is a dual boot machine with Win98 on it. The HD is a little over 8 Gig. I don't even know where to start to trouble shoot this one. Would a more recent stable version be the solution to the problem? I have a 3Com/USR 56K V.90 modem inside (PnP but not Win). Also, I bought a network card, thinking it was supported, but apparently the driver I'm trying to use for it doesn't work. Here's the message: pci0:15: vendor0x11ad, device0x0002, class=network(ethernet) int a irq 10 [no dpiver assigned] It's a Linksys LNE100TX. Of course, it's PnP and I don't know if I can disable the PnP ability. I thought is was supported under the de driver, and I don't know which driver would support it. They didn't have that wide a range of network cards to chose from at Fry's, at least not for the 10/100's. I need to know now if it's supported or not, and which ones are (the other one at Fry's was a DLink DFE-530, not the DE-530 which is known to be supported, and I know the Intel line isn't sold by Fry's anymore). I've checked the list of supported cards and no other ones seemed to be supported by FreeBSD. I need an inexpensive yet stable card, of a very recent model (since that's all they have apparently). I still have about a week to return it without any questions, and I need to know if it's supported by a later version than 2.2.7, or if there's a driver being written for it as we speak... It's not a critical issue since it will be connected to the net through modem most of the time, but when I'll bring it in a LAN, I'd like for it to have a working, supported nic inside...

For the umpity umpth time: Plug & Play (tm) ISA devices are different from 'plug & play' PCI devices. There is no plug & play setting to disable on a PCI card: PCI devices are inherently 'plug and play' because the PCI BIOS configures them for you. That's the way they work: it's not an option you can turn on and off. Plug & Play (tm) ISA bus devices are an M$-spawned abomination and I'm not even going to talk about them. The LinkSys LNE100TX _is_ supported, just not by the release of FreeBSD that you have. You need the pn driver. You can download the driver from http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/PNIC but you have to compile a new kernel image to use it. The alternative is to wait until the next 3.x release comes out, which should be fairly soon. > I thought is was supported under the de > driver, and I don't know which driver would support it.

There are a fair number of supported 10/100 cards: - 3Com 3c905/3c905B/3c980 cards (xl driver) - Texas Instruments ThunderLAN cards (Compaq Netelligent, Compaq Netflex, Olicom 2326, Racore 8165/8148) (tl driver) - SMC EtherPower II cards (tx driver) - Intel EtherExpress (fxp driver) - Various DEC 21x4x cards (de driver) - RealTek 8139 (SMC EZ Card PCI 1211TX and others) (rl driver) - PNIC cards (LinkSys LNE100TX, Netgear FA310TX rev D1, Matrox Networks 10/100 FastNIC, Kingston KNE110TX) (pn driver) - Macronix 98713/98715/98725 cards (CNet Pro120A/Pro120B, SVEC PN102TX, NDC Communications SOHOware SFA100A) (mx driver) - Winbond W89C840F cards (Trendware TE100-PCIE and others) (wb driver) - ASIX AX88140A cards (Alfa Inc. GFC2204, CNet Pro110B) (ax driver) There are probably a lot of other cheap cards of taiwanese origin that use one of the supported chipsets mentioned above which I left out; there are dozens of places selling such cards these days. Unfortunately, a lot of them are pretty crummy. The ASIX chip seems to have potential. The 3Com, Intel and ThunderLAN chipsets are the best, but cost the most. The Macronix and PNIC are sort of average. The Winbond, RealTek and VIA Rhine chips are really low end; these are the ones you'll find on the cheapest cards. The RealTek cards work but you won't get great performance at 100Mbps unless you have a really fast CPU. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Feb 4 17:51:43 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA01316 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 17:51:43 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from neptune.psn.net (neptune.psn.net [207.211.58.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id RAA01310; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 17:51:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chemtechweb@psn.net) Received: from 3-44.phx.psn.net ([209.63.183.74] helo=psn.net) by neptune.psn.net with esmtp (PSN Internet Service 2.10 #1) id 108aQn-0004ws-00; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 18:51:41 -0700 Message-ID: <36BA4F06.F60C407@psn.net> Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 18:53:10 -0700 From: Emmanuel Gravel Reply-To: chemtechweb@psn.net Organization: Orbit Communications X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.08 [en] (Win98; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Bill Paul , freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: PS/2 ports on a Dell Dimension XPS R450 References: <199902050024.QAA20267@hub.freebsd.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Bill Paul wrote: > > > I just got this machine, never had a problem installing and finding > > the PS/2 port on other computers, but for some reason, this one > > doesn't find it.

I'll try to get the machine online and CVSup 2.2.8. Can you tell me what these messages mean, though?

I'm still waiting for an EMail from their online support staff. BTW, I've just been told by a SCO guru that there may be problems on systems that have both PS/2 ports and USB ports (which this system has). That might help to identify how to solve this problem.

What I would try, just as an experiment, is to download a copy of the FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE boot floppy and just boot the kernel to see if it spews out the same errors. Two people who might be able to help you with this are yokota@freebsd.org and sos@freebsd.org, who I know have both done a lot of work on the console and mouse drivers.

First, make sure you get the driver from the 2.2 subdirectory. Second, if you download with netscape or Internet Exploder, you might end up with ^M's in the file, which will confuse the compiler and cause the kernel build to bomb. If you have no choise but to use these monstrosities (fetch or lynx will both work correctly) then you can strip the ^M's like this: % tr -d '\r' < file.orig > file.new Aside from that, just follow the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/PNIC/README and you should be okay. > As for the rest of the info, thanks a lot!

This isn't going to be a > production server anyway, just a workstation... In my experience, the PNIC usually does about 80 megabits per second on transmit in 100Mbps full-duplex mode. I was able to get the ASIX chip to do 90 megabits in 100Mbps/full-duplex mode. (Mind you, this is TCP transfer speed, so you have to take into account things like ethernet and IP header overhead when looking at the numbers.) The ASIX cards are also fairly inexpensive, although the PNIC seems to be more plentiful, especially since LinkSys and Kingston are selling them. You can find LinkSys cards at places like Staples, so they're more likely to end up in the hands of 'average consumers.' Given a choice I would do the extra legwork to find an ASIX card largely because my primary concern is finding decent programming information and ASIX Electronics has the datasheet for their chip right on their web server (www.asix.com.tw). -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Feb 4 21:10:40 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id VAA27076 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 21:10:40 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from neptune.psn.net (neptune.psn.net [207.211.58.16]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id VAA27069; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 21:10:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from chemtechweb@psn.net) Received: from 2-113.phx.psn.net ([209.63.50.113] helo=psn.net) by neptune.psn.net with esmtp (PSN Internet Service 2.10 #1) id 108dXJ-0002uH-00; Thu, 4 Feb 1999 22:10:37 -0700 Message-ID: <36BA7DA0.98044237@psn.net> Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 22:12:00 -0700 From: Emmanuel Gravel Reply-To: chemtechweb@psn.net Organization: Orbit Communications X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.08 [en] (Win98; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Bill Paul CC: hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: PS/2 ports on a Dell Dimension XPS R450 References: <199902050235.SAA07876@hub.freebsd.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > What I would try, just as an experiment, is to download > a copy of the FreeBSD 3.0-RELEASE boot floppy and just boot the kernel > to see if it spews out the same errors. Well, I'll be! The 3.0 boot floppy detects it without a problem!!! Thanks! Problem solved. I'll update to FreeBSD 3.0 through CVS as soon as I can get this machine online. > The LinkSys LNE100TX _is_ supported, just not by the release of > FreeBSD that you have. You need the pn driver.

Thank You Try sysutils/cdrecord in the ports tree. For FreeBSD 3.0 and above, that is the only "officially supported" way to burn CDs. (It should work for earlier releases as well.)

Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 19:59:13 -0800 I have a Digiboard "dumb" 8 port multiport card installed in a FBSD 2.2.8 box, correctly configured and showing all ports, ports test fine for dial out via modem and dial in via modem (all ttydx, cuaax and related /dev files created). Okay. I wanted to direct-connect a 386 PC via a null modem cable (see FBSD Handbook section 14.2.2.1 Cables) connected to the com1 (db-25) PC serial port (at 2400Bd according to the MSD diagnostic Utility) and connected to the third serial port of the digiboard octopus cable (db-25). I am using qmodem 4.6 comm s/w configured as vt100 at 2400Bd 8,n,1, but I cannot get any screen on the PC, not even if I switch term emulation from vt100 to TTY at same baud, etc. In ttys I have the serial line configured thus: ttyd3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.2400" vt100 on secure This port shows up with command: ps -ax in the PID list I have also played around with the term identifier changing it from vt100 to dialup, just to see if it made a difference. It did not. I do not get a login prompt on the pc/term screen. A db-25 line fault tester indicates traffic on the cable from the pc to the unix box but i do not get a login prompt (or did I say that already?) I have read and re-read the various man pgs and hbk and faqs, but Surely I am missing something here. This is a new installation and I am a new-bee (to FBSD). So folks, what am I missing or should I do to get this exercise home? Please do not suggest a switch to mgetty as I first need to finish with this issue. An e-mail reply would be preferred. thanks, .if. P.S. what da heck is ttyh0? MAKEDEV wont make it but it appears in the man page for ttys under v2.2.8. ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Fri Feb 5 16:53:50 1999 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id QAA02011 for freebsd-hardware-outgoing; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 16:53:50 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from sasami.jurai.net (sasami.jurai.net [207.153.65.3]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id QAA02006 for ; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 16:53:48 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from winter@jurai.net) Received: from localhost (winter@localhost) by sasami.jurai.net (8.8.8/8.8.7) with SMTP id TAA03556 for ; Fri, 5 Feb 1999 19:53:49 -0500 (EST) Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 19:53:49 -0500 (EST) From: "Matthew N.

This is the SMP board with 4 EISA, 4 PCI and 1 ISA slot. I'd like just the bare board and am looking to spend about $100 (yes, I know how expensive this thing was way back when.) Failing to find one of these, does anyone have or know about any other Pentium based EISA boards? I'm almost to the point where I'd consider a Neptune based board and a pair of P90s. A hardware failure on monday is prompting me to investigate the purchase of somewhat newer gear for my development box. Thanks. -- | Matthew N.
