I think it would be very useful for me(as well as beginners) to know how things work real-time. Even though it is not a correct mailing list, I am posting this because you guys are the real hackers and know a lot about how things work inside. I would like to know about the following. Plz add anything which you think will be helpful for the beginners. 1. Schematic diagrams of motherboards 2. How a bios detects various kinds of buses 3. How bios and os detects the different devices present in the system and what are their capabilities 4. How interrupts are routed inside 5. Groups where we can communicate related information I searched a lot in the internet but I am not able to find a good place or info that gives the detailed information.

As a workaround I think you can do 'camcontrol tags -N 120 da0' (repeat for all disks connected through mpt)? There are rumors saying that this was caused by some firmware issue and one need to update firmwares of his hard disk, but I have not tested it myself.

I also REALLY like: The 8088 Project Book http://www.amazon.com/8088-Project-Book-Robert-Grossblatt/dp/0830631712 Although this isn't a real PC, it will give a nice start in case more technical stuff it too much too soon.
