Good morning! =20 I=92ve recently read the page at this link HYPERLINK "http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-smp/2005-July/000907.html"htt= p:/ /lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-smp/2005-July/000907.html trying to find an answer to the ACPI / APM problem of installing Linux on a = Netserver lt 6000r. I=92m not a =93linux power user=94, so I=92ve found an alternative = solution to the problem. Currently I=92ve developed a cheap and very simple interface card that = must be connected between the parallel port of the netserver and the =9325pin=94 connector of the front panel. Basically when the board =93read=94 the correct signal on the parallel = port, it start to wait for ten minutes (time is configurable) and then switch off =93manually=94 the system as someone pressed the switch. This simple board, based on the ne555 chip, allow me to use Linux on = this machine and to really POWEROFF the system remotely (or using a cron-ed poweroff command). I=92m not sure if I=92m writing to the right address, but at this moment = I don=92t know any other address. If someone is interested, (accordingly with the open-source philosophy) = I will be very happy to share the circuit scheme with everyone. Just write = me a sentence (as soon as possible I will upload the schemes on a public accessible webserver). =20 Have a nice day!!!... and excuse me for my poor english, I=92m an = Italian system administrator. =20 Regards, Giuliano =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 --=20 No virus found in this outgoing message.
