You'll have lots of problems with them if they can't get hold of the bus for DMA transfers when they need to. Have you got any other bus-masters on the ISA bus? It'll be OK with just a SCSI card. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.

(a wiring diagram is in > /sys/i386/isa/lpt.c). i bought a cable at microcenter for ~$10. A reasonable alternative, but if you already have the ethernet and the tools to make the cable that is a better solution. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Jul 29 08:28:04 1995 Return-Path: hardware-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id IAA27944 for hardware-outgoing; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 08:28:04 -0700 Received: from gatekeeper.alpharel.com (gatekeeper.ALPHAREL.COM [204.118.5.2]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA27927 ; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 08:27:59 -0700 Received: (from mail@localhost) by gatekeeper.alpharel.com (8.6.8/8.6.6a) id IAA13016; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 08:27:56 -0700 Received: from optisun40.optigfx.com(147.203.1.40) by gatekeeper.alpharel.com via smap (V1.3) id sma013014; Sat Jul 29 08:27:46 1995 Received: by optisun40.optigfx.COM (4.1/SMI-4.1.SI1) id AA22997; Sat, 29 Jul 95 08:27:44 PDT Date: Sat, 29 Jul 95 08:27:44 PDT From: schwarz@alpharel.com (Steve Schwarz) Message-Id: <9507291527.AA22997@optisun40.optigfx.COM> To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: 3c589 pcmcia ethernet card does not work BNC Sender: hardware-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I just bought a 3c589 pcmcia ethernet card for my Gateway 2000 DX4/100 (called Liberty) laptop. I have been totally unable to make it work using the zp0 device in 2.0.5. My network is BNC. The card works just fine in the Liberty when that is running DOS/windows. When the Liberty is running 2.0.5 the zp0 device is probed fine, and the ethernet address of the card is gotten just fine. But nothing that tries to actually use the card succeeds in sending or receiving any packets (as evidenced from running etherfind on a Sparc SLC elsewhere on the network). Any help will be greatly appreciated. sts From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Jul 29 08:43:34 1995 Return-Path: hardware-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id IAA28678 for hardware-outgoing; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 08:43:34 -0700 Received: from gatekeeper.alpharel.com (gatekeeper.ALPHAREL.COM [204.118.5.2]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id IAA28654 ; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 08:43:27 -0700 Received: (from mail@localhost) by gatekeeper.alpharel.com (8.6.8/8.6.6a) id IAA13054; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 08:43:26 -0700 Received: from optisun40.optigfx.com(147.203.1.40) by gatekeeper.alpharel.com via smap (V1.3) id sma013052; Sat Jul 29 08:43:09 1995 Received: by optisun40.optigfx.COM (4.1/SMI-4.1.SI1) id AA23025; Sat, 29 Jul 95 08:43:07 PDT Date: Sat, 29 Jul 95 08:43:07 PDT From: schwarz@alpharel.com (Steve Schwarz) Message-Id: <9507291543.AA23025@optisun40.optigfx.COM> To: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: PS2 mouse does not work Sender: hardware-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have plugged a PS2 mouse into the PS2 port of my Gateway 2000 DX4/100 (called Liberty) laptop. Running FreeBSD 2.0.5, I added device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr to my kernel configuration, rebuilt my kernel, and on booting, both the keyboard and the mouse probe successfully. But after booting, the keyboard is unusable. I noticed that the question pertaining to the psm driver is still in the FreeBSD FAQ but the answer is now gone. Does this mean that (temporarily?) psm support has been eliminated from FreeBSD 2.0.5? Is there something we PS2 mouse users should know? Or, is the problem some conflict between the PS2 mouse plugged into the PS2 port and the "builtin" (read, totally unusable) pointing device located on the keyboard? When the Liberty is running DOS and windows, both the mouse and the infernal builtin thing work together.... sts From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Jul 29 09:12:52 1995 Return-Path: hardware-owner Received: (from majordom@localhost) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) id JAA01147 for hardware-outgoing; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 09:12:52 -0700 Received: from remington.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp (remington.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp [131.113.82.33]) by freefall.cdrom.com (8.6.11/8.6.6) with ESMTP id JAA01130 ; Sat, 29 Jul 1995 09:12:48 -0700 Received: (from hosokawa@localhost) by remington.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp (8.6.12+2.4W/3.4Wbeta3) id BAA04104; Sun, 30 Jul 1995 01:12:41 +0900 Date: Sun, 30 Jul 1995 01:12:41 +0900 Message-Id: <199507291612.BAA04104@remington.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp> To: schwarz@alpharel.com Cc: freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org, freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org, hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp Subject: Re: 3c589 pcmcia ethernet card does not work BNC In-Reply-To: Your message of Sat, 29 Jul 95 08:27:44 PDT. <9507291527.AA22997@optisun40.optigfx.COM> From: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp (HOSOKAWA Tatsumi) X-Mailer: mnews [version 1.18PL3] 1994-08/01(Mon) Sender: hardware-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk In article <9507291527.AA22997@optisun40.optigfx.COM> schwarz@alpharel.com writes: >> When the Liberty is running 2.0.5 the zp0 device is probed fine, >> and the ethernet address of the card is gotten just fine.
