Two questionst that I have: using kernel 2.1.5 1) ps/2 mousey - recompiled kernel with it enabled, and I get psm0 not found at 0x60 - no idea what to do to fix this, but I saw a post that said there is a patch from the 2.2-BETA kernel (psm.c) - d/l just the 2.2-BETA psm.c and tried to incorperate into 2.1.5 Kernel src, but no go. Do I have to get Kernel 2.2 working to be able to use ps/2 mousey. 2) rtl-8029 PCI ethernet, do these things work, or should I just trash it and stay with the ne2000 isa cards? Thanks alot in advance.

I'm sorry... but currently there isn't any support for the Buslogic Flashpoints... Buslogic doesn't seem to want to give out documentation (w/o an NDA) on the card... but the BT946c works great... ttyl...

Supporting 460.8Kbps properly would require a few changes (it might work modulo some buffer overflows at 460.8Kbps when the software thinks the speed is 115.2Kbps). Expect an ISA bus overhead of 15-20% per port at 46080 cps bidirectional saturated (corresponding to 4-5% at 11520 cps). At 150000 cps, the ISA bus overhead would be 50-65% per port (too large for normal operation) and the fifo trigger level would certainly have to be reduced to avoid silo overflows, and you would need a fast cpu faster than a 486 just to complete the i/o processing in the remaining 50-35% of the time.

The ostensible differences between the 'classic' DE500-XA boards which we have reliably run under FreeBSD for a great while are: The DE500-AA has a 21140-AC chip rather than the -AB on the last -XA adapter we bought. The -AA has an EPROM socket. The -AA seems to be about 7% slower So for example, running an -XA as a 10baseT adapter, I routinely see about ~1M/sec ftp times for a given 40MB file, while when I replace the -AA with an -XA in the same machine and copy the same file (over and over again) I get ~930K/sec. Would anyone care to conjecture if the slowdown is intrinsic to the HW or perhaps something that could be addressed in the driver? -Chris From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Jan 30 13:14:09 1997 Return-Path: Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) id NAA01788 for hardware-outgoing; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 13:14:09 -0800 (PST) Received: from soleil.uvsq.fr (soleil.uvsq.fr [193.51.24.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.8.5/8.8.5) with ESMTP id NAA01779 for ; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 13:14:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from guillotin.prism.uvsq.fr (guillotin.prism.uvsq.fr [193.51.25.1]) by soleil.uvsq.fr (8.8.5/jtpda-5.2) with ESMTP id WAA07439 for ; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 22:13:59 +0100 (MET) Received: from cezanne.prism.uvsq.fr (cezanne.prism.uvsq.fr [193.51.25.64]) by guillotin.prism.uvsq.fr (8.8.4/jtpda-5.2) with ESMTP id WAA20915 ; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 22:13:57 +0100 (MET) From: Pierre.David@prism.uvsq.fr (Pierre DAVID) Received: from (pda@localhost) by cezanne.prism.uvsq.fr (8.8.5/jtpda-5.2) id WAA06565 ; Thu, 30 Jan 1997 22:13:56 +0100 (MET) Message-Id: <199701302113.WAA06565@cezanne.prism.uvsq.fr> Subject: 64 MB ECC or 128 MB non ECC ?

This machine will be used primarily as a NFS server for about 70 clients (Sun, HP, DEC, FreeBSD), and some PC clients (10, 20, may be more) with Samba. This machine will also be our mail hub, DNS server, POP server, anonymous ftp server, etc. The current disk capacity on our Sparc is about nine 4 GB disks, which means that the new machine will handle about 30 to 40 GB when all slow SCSI disks will be replaced by new ultra-wide SCSI disks. We are planning a single Adaptec 3940UW PCI card for disks, and a low cost PCI SCSI card for slow devices such as tapes, CD-Rom, etc. We are faced with the following dilemnna: either we choose 64 MB of ECC memory (72 pins), or 128 MB of non ECC memory (standard EDO) since prices are very near. The Intel Venus motherboard is said to support ECC memory. With this context in mind, do some of you have feelings to share? What kind of Ram would you choose? BTW, how to FreeBSD handle parity errors? Does it panic, or does it kill the current process (if it is an error in user-mode), or anything else?
