Subject: Adaptec SCSI controllers
Keywords: SCSI, adaptec
Date: 30 Sep 92 23:47:32 GMT
Organization: UB

Okay. Here's one for Linux.hardware.FAQ (I have been considering working
on such a beast, so mail me if you are interested in getting your input
in-put!)

I have a Future Domain TMC-1670 16bit SCSI controller. I have an HP97544SF
SCSI hard drive (~400mb, firmware revision B094) that doesn't work.

I have been told by a techie at HP that "...oh - you're not using an
Adaptec controller? No wonder the drive doesn't work..." Okokok. Forego the
obvious - the drive _should_ work on any SCSI controller, but HP won't talk
to me unless I scrap my FD and buy Adaptec. 

I have been quoted a price on the AHA-1542 of $299. That seems a bit steep,
but maybe it _is_ extra special!

1) What Adaptec controller should I look for, and what should I expect to
   spend on it?
2) Any reason why my HP drive won't work? It responds to the SCSI_INQUIRY
   command with manufacturer (HP), model (97544S -- got truncated!),
   revision (B094), SCSI Version (01), but chokes on the total size
   question.

If you have any advice, or just want to gripe about how much HP charges for
their technical support, e-mail me (jmsimon@acsu.buffalo.edu). For those of
you who attempted to help me before -- the system I work on had a major
/var/spool/mail wipeout, and I lost all of your messages. Please don't take
this as a personal affront ;^)

	Thanks much for your help...

You have to use fcntl() locking right now.  I assume the library people are
planning to add flock() or lockf() at a later date.

I download the cut and paste utility from the patches dir on
sunsite. It is called selection-1.2. After uncompress/untar, I read
in the README that this patch and accompanying program has been
around since 0.96c. Furthermore, recompiling after making the patch
ends with gcc barfing on the file tty-io.c (I think that's it.).

Now here's the wierd part. There is a test program in the package.
In mouse.c, I specified that I have a Microsoft serial mouse, which
isn't true because I have a Logitech Mouse Man. There was no option
for Mouse Man. Please also note that when I boot 0.97.6 the kernel
says that I have a Microsoft Bus mouse (strange:). Well, if i compile
test-mouse and run it, the test works GREAT!!!!!! But after exiting
the test, if I try and rerun it, the computer loses track of the mouse
and draws those astericks all over the screen. I've tried all4 possibilites
of mice. None work consistently.

Would anyone hapen to have a suggestion??
Thanx in advance.

Wait a second, there, skippy - c.o.l. is the only forum we have to discuss
topics concerning Linux, regardless of how they are connected to Linux.  I
would love to see more Linux newsgroups to alleviate the very problem you
refer to, but it seems to be the general consensus *not* to break up c.o.l.
Since it looks as though no cfv will be taken, and c.o.l. will not split, I
see no reason why it should contain only those articles you feel are appro-
priate.

I don't mean to jump down your throat - I agree that there are too many
threads; too many topics being discussed simultaneously for one newsgroup
(threaded news reader or not).

Linux is getting the following it is because it's free. An awful lot of
people are writing, porting, and enhancing Linux because they believe
in what it is that Linux represents.

Yes, Linus is owed a debt of thanks for his efforts, and this post isn't
denying that. But don't forget the basic concept at play here, nor the
others whose work has helped to bring it along. Everyone who is involved,
including the many who're using Linux and reporting the results of their
experimentatons deserve thanks, and that thanks IS Linux.

Perhaps not as slick a solution as you would want, but there is a program
out there in archive land called p2c (you seem to already be familar
with archie searches). This program converts a pascal program to a C
program. So, you could write your program, convert it to C and compile it.
Unfortunately, this might make debugging harder than it needs to be...

There should be no problems with 8-bit characters anywhere in the kernel
- but problems arise especially with current versions of bash as well as
various other programs (even 'ls' needs the "--literal" flag to
correctly print out 8-bit filenames). 

So while the kernel should handle them ok, I'd suggest against using
8-bit characters in filenames etc, as you'll have problems with 7-bit
terminals, programs that cannot handle them etc etc.

	And I would add that I do not feel that TeX (and LaTeX, by entension)
are obscure.  The American Physical Society accepts manuscripts done in LaTeX
(using their macro macro package), so it is possible to sumit the final draft
via e-mail.  The page charges are waived, as I recall, if you do this.  This
does not strike me as something that the APS would do if TeX were obscure.

with the boot and root images from tsx-11.  I can build a swap

the filesystem, it mysteriously gets corrupted.  I have verified
the corruption using `sum' on the root disk.  It seems that once
I copy it over it is fine, but after I copy some indeterminate
number of other files over to the filesystem, the first files that
I copied get corrupted.

Oops. Let's hope this solves the problems people have been having. I
didn't spot this error, because the recognition worked on my machine.
My BIOS apparently doesn't care whether a handler is installed or not.

Look on tsx-11.mit.edu in /pub/linux/packages/MGR (from memory).  I've
got this version working under Linux, and it appears to be about as
solid as the Minix version was.  Michael Haardt produced this version,
which he calls 0.4.  It's apparently based on the latest Sun version
with bits and pieces from Linux people, Minix people, and Stephen Uhler
himself.  I had to "lean" on the sources a bit before I could get them
to compile.  Not all of the clients are ported, yet, so there's still
room to make a contribution.

If you want, you can join the MGR channel of arl's linux-activists mailing
list.  Send mail to linux-activists-request@niksula.hut.fi to get an
auto-reply explaining how the mailing list works.  The activity level
on the MGR channel fluctuates, and is generally insignificant when
compared to the volume of X-related stuff.

But far better performance, with only a few registers available on a iapx86, you

The example in the tutorial will not produce the correct output (I have no idea

and Linux (hardly any trouble) on my machine at home.

386BSD: TinyBSD booted ok on my 386DX/16MHz Zenith at the office.
When attempting to boot on the machine at home, the system
would just hang.  Any ideas why?  The system is a 20MHz 
AST 386C with RAM Caching, Orchid Prodesigner IIs SVGA card,
4MB RAM.  I suspect a compatibility problem with the video card.

Linux: System installed beautifully (all 15 disks downloaded
from /pub/linux/SLS at the tsx-11.mit.edu site).  However, I
can't get X-windows to work.  I issue the command "X" and the
system basically hangs.  I am a newbie to X-windows, though
I have been using Unix (SCO Xenix at the office) for some time.  How
does one invoke X-windows?  Does the system hang because 4MB RAM
is just insufficient, or would it work with 4MB RAM, just very slowly?
I'll get 8MB RAM, but only if that's all it would take to get X
to work.

Keep up the good work, you guys.  I can almost not believe it...  Free
UNIX!  After always having had to pay an arm and a leg for SCO's 
stuff, not all of which works well (eg. SCO Integra, what a dog!)
