   This is all hearsay from the net. Intel hasn't released any official specs.

   Some of the new motherboards ( AMI, ZEOS, Micronics, etc ) have a P24 socket.
This socket has an extra row of pins which will allow a "downgraded" version of
the Pentium. Rather like the RapidCAD for a 386 motherboard. From what has been
rumoured the P24 will **not** work in an overdrive socket.

Ok. This bit about you having a 486 may be the problem. Can anyone else 
using a 486 and the Seagate card let me know if you have a working 
combination? ie: let me know if it has failed, or if it hasn't failed for 
you.

Do either of you guys have any other SCSI devices attached to your card, or 
is it only being used for the SyQuest?

Hello, world.

I am currently running Coherent 4.0 on my home machine (generic 486/33 with
200 MB IDE drive).  I'd like to install and start playing with Linux, as
Coherent has some shortcomings as of this release (4.0.0).  I've obtained
the SLS package from ftp.uu.net, and have taken it up to the point where 
it wants to mkfs on my disk.  I'd like to wipe out my DOS partition, and
put Linux there.  According to fdisk, this is possible.  However, before I
go ahead and DO it, I thought I'd ask if anyone has had any difficulties
with this.  Will fdisk respect the start and stop cylinder positions of
my DOS partition, and not do anything to my Coherent partition?  I'd hate
to wipe *everything* out.

If you've done this, and been successful or not, please mail me at either
of the addresses below.

Tan(Q).

You need to rebuild ps.  An even better idea - get one of the new ps's that

There is a device called /dev/port. After opening the device you have to
position the file pointer at the byte offset corresponding to your port
address. Then you can read or write successive bytes. I never tried it
by myself. If you should have any problems with this have a look at
/usr/src/linux/kernel/chr_drv/mem.c

FYI:  an email response to my original inquiry on this thread pointed me
to a program called 'backflops' which can be found in the sources/usr.bin
directory on tsx-11.

This program does essentially what a couple of people here have suggested,
and it has all the same limitations (it can't tolerate any errors of
any sort, ranging from insertion of a write-protected disk 3/4 of the
way through your backup to bumping into a disk-read error on Diskette One
when trying to restore a file from Diskette Fifteen).  But it's better
than nothing, and arguably better than doing backups without compression
but with error-recovery features (you have to decide that for yourself:
do you make multiple backups without error recovery, or less-frequent
backups with it?)

It performs about as fast as, perhaps faster than, the DOS FastBack program.

It looks like you are using the kernel made by me since I just defined 4
VCs to save some RAM/disk space for floppy root disk. Get the source and
recompile the kernel yourself. You may can save more by disabling some
options you don't need. My kernel on my hd is at least 20K smaller than

the the card.  However, I still get the following errors when I start
up X:
	- A "no SIOCGIFCONF" error first thing when X attemps to start
	- A "Trident driver only supports TVGA8900C" error, followed by
	  a "None of the configured devices was detected" error.
Then, X dies and I get a fatal server error.            

Could someone please help me with figuring out what these errors mean.
Thanks,

Hi,

Could somebody point me to an ftp site where I can find the
'libX11.so.2.1' library ? I tried downloading 'xlibs.taz' from the SLS
distribution on sunsite, but it still contains only the older
libX11.so.2.0

Thanks !


Martin

Yeah?  And what makes you think the Pentium will even *be* 586-compatible?
