Anyway, one of the things holding me back is the potential cost of fitting out a Dual PPro board with 128MB+ of EDO SIMMs. I figured there's probably quite a few guys on these lists who have dealt with this sort of hardware in the past, so I was wondering if anyone knows: Were there any Ppro boards made that supported SDRAM (ie DIMMs) ?

You can also buy a dual slot1 board for around $80 off eBay if you're patient. For example, I bought a Intel N440BX for just under $80 including shipping and handling. It's a pretty nice board with onboard scsi, fast ethernet, and video but it has a limit of what kind of processors it can use--the limit being katmai's. I still like my SuperMicro P6DBE better though. Just some more options to make you think a little more.

The Mammoth is getting 60 seconds to write a filemark. That ought to be enough. > Hi, > I'm using an Exabyte EXB-210 tape changer with one Mammoth drive under > 4.3-RELEASE with Amanda.

Or does it exist? Message-ID: <20010525150406.D56784-100000@localhost> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I recently purchased a nifty new laptop (Sony Vaio PCG-FX120), and surprise surprise, it had a iLink (aka Firewire, aka IEEE1394) port on it. I needed a CD-RW drive that I could take with me on trips or whatnot, so I decided to purchase a firewire external CD-RW drive, since I've heard so many horror stories about USB drives being flaky/poor performance. All in all I am quite happy with this combination... I can read and burn CD's with absolutely flawless performance under WindowsME (amazingly enough... haven't made any coasters yet!) and this weekend I was playing with Linux and I even got cdrecord to burn to it under Linux using the sbp2(?) driver (basically does SCSI emulation over firewire). In fact I like this combo so much that I decided to get a Firewire card for my desktop PC. Now I can use the CD burner on either machine, and I can even connect the desktop and laptop machines together with firewire and use it as an extremely high speed, point-to-point network interface. File transfers have never been so quick as this! So, my question is this: Will FreeBSD be gettin' some of this wonderfully fiery goodness? Does FireWire support already exist, in some form or another, perhaps in CURRENT? If not, are there any definite plans to add support for it at some point down the line? A quick grep of /sys/i386/conf on a CURRENT source tree shows nothing about 1394 or Firewire, so it seems as though the answer is no... :( Please correct me if I'm wrong! At this point, the ability to use external devices, such as hard disks and CD-ROM/R/RW drives is the most important to me. (CD access more of a priority than hard disk access, since I, as yet, do not own a firewire hard drive) I don't particularly care about other applications of firewire, e.g. digital video. (Okay, I admit it, that is a lie. I do care about digital video, since I also happen to own a Sony digital camcorder. But, since there are, as yet, no video editing tools a la Adobe Premiere for Linux/FreeBSD, I just do all my DV editing under Windows. DV support under FreeBSD would be *nice*, but not a priority by any means.) -- Donald Burr of Borg | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve!

The reason I replaced this card had nothing to do with Had you read the documentation, you would have find that realtek card can work but are not recommended. A colleague of mine once read rl driver (one rl driver, it could have changed, it was many years ago) and one of the first comment in the C code was that the driver had been put there to answer a need, but it was dirty, ugly and bad and one should not use suck card. Talking about network cards, at that same period we bought a couple of 3com 980 that we never installed, they had problem (driver, firmware?) and could never reach the speed a 905 did. Has it been solved? Best regards, Olivier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
