You posted cc'd to both freebsd-multimedia@FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG which is Not approved, if in doubt send commands such as help info questions info hardware info multimedia info ports through the mail list to majordomo@freebsd.org & read the definitions of the lists you subscribed & posted to. Your question seemed more appropriate to questions@ &/or multimedia@, rather than hardware@ If you dont know what cross posting is, enroll at classes for internet basics. You originally posted (entire post) as follows: --- > Subject: Compaq PA-1 MP3 player > I have one of those Compaq PA-1 portable MP3 players. Are there > any utilities that run under FreeBSD that I can use to interface > (upload/delete files, etc) with the player? --- You seemed a clueless novice ( no offence intended - everyone's clueless sometimes, just that some are prepared to learn, & some not ) with no idea where or how to look, so as on freebsd mail lists many prefer to help people learn how to research their own questions, rather than support clueless burdens for ever, I told you, (& for note by others who often also don't know about pib & ports/INDEX either) how to help yourself look for your own ports/ answers: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/pib; make install ; rehash ; pib Or vi -c/mp3 /usr/ports/INDEX Another poster helpfully added: Or cd /usr/ports ; make search key=mp3 I didn't check out content of those 10 ports, that's your problem & your work to do, not mine. Even if all the 10 ports don't do what you want, if you go to the 10 /usr/ports/ directories listed by the commands above, type make expand then examine the source & doc files contained, & go to the web sites supporting those software packages, you will find pointers to software that does do what you need, without consuming mail list bandwidth & volunteer attempted helper time on such a basic & easily researched personal search. Next time you want some software, use the FreeBSD search tools first, & when you post, if you tell us where you've researched already, we'll know where not to waste time suggesting things you've already tried. Use the search methods I & the other chap detailed. If you don't try to help yourself, as detailed, conclusions may be drawn as to wether or not you are a burden worth helping, on this or future problems.

Wild guess... it will probably be OK once you've fired up the BIOS utils off the CD and selected an appropriate setting for the OS - Unixware or Linux would be good ones to try from what I remember of previous comments about Compaqs & SMP. BTW, you'll need to recompile the kernel to enable SMP. -- Andrew I MacIntyre "These thoughts are mine alone..."

I made a BIOS-upgrade, and the new BIOS has some additional features in the PowerMangement. The values of this features were set to an inital value of "reserved", and not to a correct value. It seems that the FreeBSD-kernel could not initalize or handle these BIOS settings. Other OS like Linux, Win2K and Win98 worked correctly. After I setted this options to a correct value, the system worked also with FreeBSD 4.2. mfg, -- -------------------------------------- E-mail: Michael.Bretterklieber@jawa.at ---------------------------- JAWA MANAGEMENT und SOFTWARE Liebenauer Hauptstr. 200 A-8041 GRAZ Tel: ++43-(0)316-403274-12 Fax: ++43-(0)316-403274-10 GSM: ++43-(0)676-93 96 698 homepage: http://www.jawa.at --------- privat ----------- E-mail: mbretter@inode.at homepage: http://www.inode.at/mbretter -------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Mar 1 16:17:43 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from edwin.mounet.com (edwin.mounet.com [216.145.76.8]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 323B937B719 for ; Thu, 1 Mar 2001 16:17:39 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from hornback@wireco.net) Received: (qmail 12667 invoked by uid 0); 2 Mar 2001 00:02:57 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO eagle) (216.145.67.85) by mounet.com with SMTP; 2 Mar 2001 00:02:57 -0000 From: "Andrew C.

I'm in the process of collecting parts for my "Workstation of the Gods" project, and am looking for a little insight and/or direction as to the components that I have chosen. The base machine is an ALR Revolution 6X6. For the uninitiated, this machine is capable of handling 6 Pentium Pro processors (I'm using the 200 MHz with 1 Meg of L2 version), and up to 4 Gigs of memory in DIMMs (currently configured using 64 Megs of SIMMs). When it comes to peripherals, I have a few pieces that I could not find on the FreeBSD Supported Hardware List, and thought that I would ask and see if anyone had any updated information concerning them. The first piece is the Turtle Beach Cancun FX daughtercard for the Sound Blaster AWE 32 that the machine will have. I am wanting to do some work with audio production and editing, and this card is used to upgrade the MIDI capabilities of the AWE 32. Is there anyone out there currently using a setup similar to this, or is there a driver out there that I would need to support this hardware? Secondly is the Equinox (which has just been purchased by Avocent) Megaport 12CS card that I have, with the accompanying 12 port Serial Distribution panel. This is an EISA card, and from what I can tell, it is similar to a DigiBoard or a Boca Multiserial board. Again, this is not listed in the supported hardware list. Their website lists drivers for SCO, Solaris and AT&T Unices for this card. This is not a required piece of hardware for what I want to do with the workstation, but it would make things a little nicer (i.e. I could keep all of my plotters attached at the same time without having to switch cables, etc.) The third piece of questionable hardware is an Intel Remote Server Management Interface. This card is the hardware side of Intel's LAN manager software. It allows the machine to be rebooted remotely in case of a problem, via modem or network. Intel is VERY shy about giving up any details about this component, but I do note that there are Linux drivers for it. As with the Equinox board, this isn't a requirement for what I want to do with this machine (and obviously, it's a workstation, not a server, in addition to the fact that FreeBSD would rarely cause a problem where the machine would need to be rebooted). Fourth on my list is a Berkshire PCI Watchdog card. I had heard about these cards from someone on the list and did some investigating and found that this would be a cheap insurance policy for the machine. Given the amount of money that I am spending on this box, I want all the insurance that I can get. Berkshire has a Linux driver for this card available, but since I learned about it from one of the FreeBSD lists, I'm wondering if someone "on this side of the fence" has ported it over or not. In fifth place, and probably the easiest to determine if it's compatible with FreeBSD or not is the Digitizer that I have for this machine. It's a simple CalComp 12"x12" serial with a 4 button puck. Since it's a simple serial device, I imagine that it should work fine under FreeBSD, but I thought that I'd ask first and see if anyone knew of any problems that I should look out for. Last on the list, this little monster is gonna need a backup setup. Right now, I'm looking at either a Seagate Hornet 10/20 Gig SCSI Tape or the Quantum DLT-2000. The machine is going to have three RAID arrays made up of 3 x 9 Gig IBM 10,000 RPM Ultrastar drives. Since each array is going to be RAID 5, I will get the effective drive space of approximately 18 Gigs per array, and would like to be able to back that up onto one tape per array. I was wondering if anyone could point out any reasons to go with one over the other, or any drawbacks of using either system to accomplish the backups. Thanks, --- Andrew C.

Clearly, however, something didn't quite work. I suspect that the sio0 overflows means that an IRQ is being shared (irq 8), and somebody isn't happy (FWIW, inserting the card in slot 0 will cause i/o to hang until the card is removed). However, I don't see anybody reported at irq 8 with 'dmesg'. I haven't worked with ATA worth mention in the past, so I am not sure how to proceed. If it matters, this card is from an Agfa ActionCam (Minolta RD-175 digital camera) with a stated capacity of 130MB.

SMP just doesn't scale that way in practice. Unless you keep your load average above 1, you aren't likely to see performance better than a single 200 MHz CPU. You'll need a load average near 6 just to keep them all busy. (Unless I missed something and FreeBSD can allocate threads to different CPUs. But even then, it only helps for multi-threaded apps.) Overall, you'd probably be better off with a single CPU 1.2GHz Athlon. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sat Mar 3 11:41:52 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from sasami.jurai.net (sasami.jurai.net [64.0.106.45]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0A13F37B71C; Sat, 3 Mar 2001 11:41:45 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from winter@jurai.net) Received: from localhost (winter@localhost) by sasami.jurai.net (8.9.3/8.8.7) with ESMTP id OAA96791; Sat, 3 Mar 2001 14:41:44 -0500 (EST) Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2001 14:41:43 -0500 (EST) From: "Matthew N.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been hacking on the IBM LANstreamer for the past week or so and have something that transmits and receives. I thought I'd make the code availble for anyone that wants to try it out as I suspect I've got one or 2 bugs in the RX mbuf management code. I'd also like to solicit users with FDX token-ring switches and these cards. Email me directly. Known problems: - receiving packets larger than 2k doesn't work yet. - low throughput. - ifmedia stuff doesn't yet work. - feature minimal. - no support for the MCA version of this adapter. - unloading module may leak memory. I'm still sorting out some of the code layout and abstraction between the OS dependent portion of the driver and the independent portion. ftp://ftp.jurai.net/users/winter/if_lns/lns.tar.gz Untar the tar-file and build the module in the module directory. -- | Matthew N.
