Oh, you actually logged onto my machine and verified this?  For your
information, I just spent the last 10 minutes scrutinizing my disktab
file to make sure I didn't make a fool out of myself.  There is no
string containing 1480.  There are no entries which look remotely
like a ~400MB hard disk.  As far as recent postings, I hadn't been
following the thread until just before my post.  Maybe netiquette
requires me to immediately scan all old posts to see if my question
was previously answered, but I hadn't thought so.  In any event,
netiquette DOES frown on sarcastic put-downs from people who don't
have their facts right.

Well, the IIfx is quite finicky about termination, cable length, etc...

I would hazard a guess that maybe:

	1. You aren't using the IIfx TerminatorII

	2. You have an "el cheapo" SCSI cable.

	3. It's possible that you have > 2 terminators on the bus...

Early beta versions had some problems installing on IIfx's but they have been,
as far as I know, worked out.

Good Luck!

If you are correct, then I <blush>

The best speed I've seen is wirh a Loviel RAID level 5 subsystem.  Sure, it is $35,000, but was it fast!

Can anyone run tests for us to see if the DMA on a IIfx really helps any at all?

I would be interested in seeing the xgraph source in any "unix" form.

gnuplot, which is easily ported to A/UX.

And xvgr Release 2.09, a plotting tool for workstations using the
X Window System. Source code is available via anonymous ftp to
amb4.ese.ogi.edu [129.95.20.76] in pub/acegr/xvgr-2.09.tar.Z.

The catch is that Xvgr requires the XView toolkit, release 2.0 or 3.0.

There comes a point when extra memory just becomes extra memory, i.e.,
extra RAM to work with. Expanding buffers and the like would make no
difference since you run up against the speed limit of the system in
question. At this point, your extra memory can be used to increase
Finder memory (i.e. run more MacOS programs) or alleviate swapping.

It's possible, also, that the new NBUF setting is not that much larger
than it was.

You might want to set up accounting to see where any bottlenecks are...

I am planning to buy A/UX this week but does not know if it is necessarily.


Question A:  What is the different among the following:

             1) running A/UX on the Mac
             2) loggon to UNIX System from home through communication software
             3) the above (Pt.2) + MacX



Question B:

      If the NEC CD ROM can't read A/UX, then how can I install the programs?
      What about installing it in a system with a Apple CD ROM and then
      copy all the file (through Optical Disk or Floppies)?
      Will this work?



Question C:

The problem with Moire seems to be that it "mucks around" with the Shutdown

>Can anyone run tests for us to see if the DMA on a IIfx really helps any at all?

Interestingly enough, this was a real issue. In 2.0.0, the DMA mode was a win
for some things and a big lose for others. If I recall correctly, this was
due to the kernel parameter for minimum dma xfer size being set too low. I
fiddled with it and it got faster.

In 2.0.1, it was fixed somewhat but I didn't test it.

3.0 was a lot faster than 2.0. The DMA definitely made a perceptible difference
in throughput. The raw I/O speed hasn't really changed (much?) but the load
on the rest of the system from disk I/Os has decreased a lot.

The problem is that DMA is only useful in some situations. On the IIfx, the
disk I/O channel is mismatched to the CPU speed- it's too slow. DMA can't
help you there, and in fact, while it's sometimes an improvement, it also
highlights that problem. The Quadras are _much_ better machines from that
standpoint. Especialy the 9x0.

OK. Burn the magazine and shoot the editors. That should clear things up

Those guys should be shining shoes for a living. But then again, the magazine
that really checks its facts before publication, or marks speculative items

I used HDT World Control V1.0.  The following is what it told me:

Tracks per Zone = 4
Alternate Sectors per Zone = 1
Alternate Tracks per Zone = 0
Alternate Tracks per Unit = 0
Sectors per Track = 87
Data Bytes per Sector = 512
Interleave = 1
Track Skew Factor = 25
Cylinder Skew Factor = 32
Sector Format = Soft
Removable = No
Surface = No
Number of Cylinders = 1818
Number of Heads = 4
Starting Cylinder - Write Precompensation = 1818
Starting Cylinder - Reduced Write Current = 1818
Drive Step Rate = 0
Landing Zone Cylinder = 0
Rotational Position Locking = No
Rotational Offset = 0

Most of the above is greek to me.

Yes. But I thought it had been squashed in 2.0.1. It's sensitive to shells
that have improper compatmode bits set. There may be other things that can
cause this as well.

No. (You could scan the device, but that's too difficult generally.)

Except for the fact that no OS takes advantage of the DMA yet, and some apps do
not work with the serial chips in faster mode.  I think that one could spend the
saved money on RAM (The ram is only used in some LaserWriters) on a SCSI-2
card and a SCSI-2 hard disk to get balzing speed.

I am by no means an expert on modem communications although I have been
this since I want to be able to call into jagubox from my PB170 at home.
Soooo....

Assuming the cable is wired correctly (see the FAQ), the mo_2400 entry
is correct. What this does is:

	1. Expect a connection at 2400 baud
	2. Use modem flow control

Which is what you want.

Make sure that you are using the latest version of UUCP (1.16).

If you want to stop the getty process on tty0 just edit /etc/inittab
and change the 'respawn' to 'off' and then type "init q".

Without a doubt, you'll get more answers but I'd suggest looking at
the FAQ first...
