Agreed. Am running now
ad4: 43979MB <IBM-DTLA-307045> [89355/16/63] at ata2-master using UDMA100

My old 
ad6: 39082MB <Maxtor 54098U8> [79406/16/63] at ata3-master using UDMA33
got severe read and write failures 2 weeks after warranty had finished.

Replacing the ABIT HA66 UDMA-4 controller with a
atapci1: <Promise ATA100 controller> 
additionally solved system hangs during boot which forced me to run
UDMA-2 only.

BTW, IBM offers you diagnose and other software on their webpage.
Compared to Maxtor a real win.

BTW2, does somebody know, if enabling S.M.A.R.T. (default: disabled)
on the IBM drive has some performance impact ? And what does it exactly
do ? Why is it disabled by default, if it seems useful ?

It should be harmless.  I'm assuming it can be disabled in the odd case 
where someone has a piece of software that insists on sending random crap 
to the drive and doesn't like it when it accidentally sends a SMART 
command.

There might be a better reason, but I've yet to see it mentioned.

Hi.  On the main page of the Highpoint Technologies website
(www.highpoint-tech.com), they claim that the "FreeBSD Operating System
Includes Support for HPT370 Controllers... Versions 4.1 and Later," which is
their RAID + ultra ATA 100 controller chip included on several motherboards
(like the Abit 133BX-RAID).  However, I can't find any claim on the FreeBSD
website supporting this.  Does FreeBSD 4.1 support this HPT370 RAID +
UltraATA 100 controller?  If it does, does it support all or only part of
its capabilities (RAID support or UltraATA 100 support or both)?  Is this
installed automatically during FreeBSD installation (i.e. autodetected by
FreeBSD setup) or does something special have to be done.  And lastly, is
there anywhere online that I can look to find out more information about
this whole topic?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Bennett Hui

If the HPT370 is the RAID controller, then yes:
ata-all.c:          return "HighPoint HPT370 ATA100 controller";

However, I don't know if there is another non-raid version which is
the supported version.

Subject: SCSI Host Adapter Recomendation Needed
Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

Hi all!

I'm in the market for a SCSI host adapter.  I've done some research on Adaptec, Symbios, and Advansys adapters since they seem well supported by FreeBSD.

With so many to choose from it's kinda overwhelming and I'm not a SCSI expert so choosing one has become a difficult task.

Maybe my needs will be a determining factor.  I'd like to run SCSI Hardrives, CDROM's, and CD-RW's.  The machine's main purpose is a desktop workstation.

I'd like something affordable.  What's affordable?  Well around 150 dollars I guess, but I'm flexible.  I'd like something fast with neat features.  Also, I'd like something that will last and won't be deemed obsolete within a month.  Know what I mean?

I'm not sure if I should get an UW SCSI, U2W SCSI or U160 SCSI adaptor.  Any advice/recomendation will be greatly appreciated. Also, some advice/recomendations on SCSI CD-RW's and CDROM's will also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Joey

	I like Tekram personally. They use the Symbios chipsets, seem to
be better and faster then Adaptec cards. Plus they're cheap... Between
$70-$100! I've had well over a dozen different models, all of which have
run great, and still do. :)

Anyone have any experience with this CDR jukebox??? And/Or any control code
that will work with the serial interface to control the robot arm?? The doco

For generic 2d work you may be able to use the driver that the DRI folks
are working on in association with the 3D work they are developing for
it (the 3D work will likely be linux only for a while). 

Scout around at http://dri.sourceforge.net/ and peruse the CVS tree there
to see how far along the support has come.

Has anyone tried using an Intel PRO/100 S card under FreeBSD?

It has hardware encryption, and I was just wondering whether
it can be used by FreeBSD and if so how fast it is--the Intel
Web site seems very vague and I'm learning that my idea of fast
is substantially different to, say, Cisco with their VPN routers...

Thanks,
Tony

I am in the market for a notebook computer.  Which will have my favorite =
OS
installed on it.

I was in the showroom today with the 4.1-RELEASE KERN and MFSROOT disks t=
o
check compatability.  Everything seems to work, except for the Ethernet c=
ard -
a Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 (CEM56), which if_xe.c cla=
ims to
support.

Is this driver present in the kernel on the install floppies?  It is pres=
ent in
the GENERIC configuration file - is that what's used on the install flopp=
ies?

After booting into the installation system, I invoked the emergency holog=
raphic
shell and did "ifconfig -a".  No Ethernet devices showed up.

Is there anything I have to do during the initial install to enable these
devices?  My preferred method of installing is to fetch the packages usin=
g FTP,
then install from a LAN-based NFS or FTP server.  Therefore, I need Ether=
net to
be working on the install-boot floppy.

Is there a better compatibility acceptance test?  Something I can do reas=
onably
quickly in the showroom, without destroying the demo model (i.e. no trash=
ing
the hard disk).

I am not about to plunk down CAD$3500 on a nice new notebook
unless I am 100% sure that it can run FreeBSD with Ethernet and modem.

Err, the card is probably a cardbus card.  FreeBSD doesn't support card-bus
cards yet, so you'd have to find a PC-Card (aka PCMCIA) card to use with
FreeBSD for the time being.

I installed 4.1.1 on a machine with a Mylex AcceleRAID 250.  After
install and while it starts to boot I get:

BTX loader 1.00  BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS 636kB/523200kB available memory

Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

It hangs right there.  Anyone run into this and resolve it?

I've  set up my box with fbsd 4.1. But I need to find out how reliable are
all the components. Letting the system up without really running anything
for 5 days now is hardly what I would call a burn-in.

Three components that top my list are:

1) Barracuda hardisk
2) Kingston RAM
3) Intel Network Interface Card

Please advice or throw me a link.


Thanks,
Lee

Just repeatedly run "make -j 8 buildworld" for a day or so. If it survives
that, you are in for a long and happy working relationship with that box.

Hello!
I want a new webcam for my FreeBSD box.
For years I have been using a Connetix Color QuickCam and cqcam to get the
images. 
But the camera is getting old and the picture is getting ugly
(see:http://ww.rud.dk/camz.jpg) for some reason.

Anyone knows what cams I can use on my FreeBSD 4.1? The PC is a old 166mhz
Pentium, but it does have USB.
My major concern is to find the software I need to grab the image.

Any ideas?

p.s. I do also have a Quickcam Express with USB, but Logitech has not
released the specs for it so there doesn't seem to be any programs for it.

CU
/Martin

Are the ZNYX 346Q cards supported under 2.2.6 ??
I know the ZX346 (without the Q ) is supported ... the Q
has something todo with RAINLink ??

The ZX346's are supported in the de driver, but I'm not
sure the ZX346Q's wil work ...

Thanks

Subject: Installing Freebsd 4.1 on 600X
Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

Hi all;

I am trying to install FBSD 4.1 on a Thinkpad 600X
(64Meg(fixed), 12Gig, DVD).

I get "unable to live if I can't run init" after
putting the MFSROOT disk in.

I looked at the mail list archives and found several
references to removing memory but, my 64Meg is fixed
and can't be removed.

2 solutions come to mind:

First, get a generic kernel from some kind person and,
Second, set some boot time options....

NOTE: I do not have FBSD installed anywhere else to
build a custom kernel.



Can anyone offer some ideas ?

The newest Intel nics have some interesting looking features, like onboard
encryption. How well are these supported in the fxp device? How about the
dual-port nic? Does this work in FBSD 4.1.1? (If so, any special rules on
its use, or does it just show as fxp0 and fxp1?)

Looking to dump my 3COM 905s. Am convinced they're junkable...
Thanks,
John

Crypto is not supported, and from what I've heard (here and on the
OpenBSD website) it's not going to be.  Intel won't give out docs
without an NDA which makes it's rather hard to write a FreeBSD driver.
The dual port card should work.  BSDi sells them and I believe they are
basicaly a PCI-PCI bridge with two NICs on it.

Great! FreeBSD boxes are awesome for webcams, they can push tons
of traffic and not have any degradation.

At this point, USB cameras under FreeBSD don't seem to be fully supported.
There is some initial support, but I couldn't find the cameras supported
anywhere :/

I use a BT848 based video capture card with a regular lil camera. It
works great! I have software that does streaming JPEG, its super reliable
and the quality of the stream is really good. There are a bunch of other
softwares out there too, I think there are some in the ports too.

The dual port cards have worked since 2.X, I used them at Linkexchange
all over the place. Basically it looks like fxp0 and fxp1 and thats it.
The cards are pretty cool and I've never had a problem with em.
I've got one of them in my 4.1.1 box at home and it works great.

> Looking to dump my 3COM 905s. Am convinced they're junkable...

I haven't seen any 3com hardware thats been to my liking for ages...
They're not even the cheapest cards out there anymore, most intel
OEM cards are cheaper, I think I paid $46 for my last Intel card, and a
comprable 3com card was 10-15$ more!

For starters there was no 4.1.1 CD, unless you burnt it yourself
from ISO.
Which 3ware are you trying this on?
When the machine is booting does the 3ware card announces itself
and are you able to go into it's setup?
