Can anyone help me connect a Sony floppy drive to to 1040 STE (and get
it working)?

Help needed connecting PC floppy drive to Micro P QLFDC v5.1 (QL)Can anyone give me any help on connecting a standard floppy drive to
the Micro Peripherals QLFDC v5.1 - I assume that any standard floppy
drive should work with these type of QL interfaces. If not please let
me know.
I have an external enclosure, supplying power. I have a cable which I
made up - it is a straight through ribbon cable. When I try to access
the drive, it clicks as though it's moving the little metal sheild on
the disk across, but the drive does not appear to spin, neither does
the green light come on. After a pause, the QL says 'drive not ready'.

Connecting printer on eCS1.1 PC to WinXP SP1 PCI have a printer on an eCS 1.1 PC and am trying to get my XP SP1 PC to
connect to it. The two machines are connected using a crossover RJ-45
cable. On the eCS system I have IBM OS/2 NETBIOS and IBM TCP/IP. On
the XP machine I have NetBEUI and TCP/IP with NETBIOS over TCP/IP
disabled. The Workgroup name is IBMPEERS. The eCS machine is SYSTEM01
and the XP machine is SYSTEM03. XP shows the machines are connected
and I can see and use the files that I have as a share on the eCS
machine. On the eCS machine I have full access to the shared files on
the XP machine. The printer I want to share is on the eCS machine and
I set it up on the eCS machine as a share. When I try to install the
printer on the XP machine, it can't find the printer when I browse for
it. It does show up when I click on "View Workgroup Computers" (It
takes over 30 seconds for the workgroup computers to show up which
seems like an overly long time) and then click on the eCS machine
Icon.
When I force the XP printer installer to "see" the printer by entering
the location (\\system01\laserjet) it goes through the install but the
"test printer" fails. What the heck am I missing?
BTW, I have a Win98 partition on the eCS machine and before I disabled
the NetBIOS over TCP/IP on the XP machine I easily installed the
printer. I haven't messed with this (Win98) since I began to try to
get eCS 1.1 working.

QHi all,
I have a ADSL modem connected to a Sitecom DC207 router which in turn is
connected to 3 PC's, one of which is old, turned on 24/7, and mostly used
for downloading stuff. At times it rather hogs the internet connection,
slowing down the connection the other PC's can make substantially. Can
anyone suggest a way to limit the share this machine gets of the total
internet connection? The downloading software in question does not offer a
possibility to limit it's downloading efort to a certain amount. Is there
perhaps a way to squeeze the relevant LAN port on the router...
PNY flash drive on PC running RH 9.1 vs. RH 7.1I have been trying to get a PNY USB 2.0 FD flash drive to work on two
PC's, one of which has RH 7.1 and the other of which has RH 9.1. I have
succeeded in getting it to work on the one with RH 7.1 but I don't know
for certain which of the things I did are responsible for it working. I
am unable to get it to work on the one with RH 9.1.
Basically, on the one with RH 7.1, I created a file named /etc/updfstab.conf
and placed
symlink false
device flash {
match hd flash
}
in it. I also added the line
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash auto noauto,owner 0 0
to the file /etc/fstab. I also created the directory /mnt/flash and executed
/usr/sbin/modprob usb-storage
just in case and found after plugging in the flash drive that
/proc/scsi/scsi/usb-storage-0/0 contained all the information about the
flash drive. Then I mounted it with the command
mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
and was able to read and write to the flash drive with no difficulty.
Question: is there such a thing as formatting the flash drive for Linux,
e.g. with an ext2 file system? If so, how.
On the other PC, with RH 9.1, there was already a file /etc/updfstab.conf
which simply sourced another file named /etc/updfstab.conf.default. The
entry for flash in the latter read
device flash {
partition 1
match hd CompactFlash
match hd ImageMate
}
I have no idea what these are. I added match hd PNY as a third option
in /etc/updfstab.conf after the default file was read in, since later

Hardware question (connecting a tape drive)Hello
I have a VAX 4100 to which is connected a disk tower (SCSI) from the port on
the back of the VAX.
I think I can connect a tape drive to the inside of the disk tower, as I see
another port in there. But I don't have a cable that fits.
On the other hand, I do have a SCSI cable that can connect to the tape drive
directly from the VAX. As the tape drive has another connector, I figured I
could then go from there to the disk tower.
I tried, and at the >>> prompt a SHOW DEVICE now shows several MKA devices
instead of DKA devices. I see the new tape is there (new device MKA700) but
no more DK's.
So in a way the VAX sees the devices but does not correctly identify what
type they are.
The tape drive is like this one, at the bottom of the page you can see the
SCSI ports.

Is there any way to serialize the connection of disk drives and a tape like
I tried to do ?
I can buy a cable to connect the tape to the disk tower, but I'm not evgen
sure this will work.
If someone can advise...

How to connect a notebook dvd drive to a desktop pc?Hi everyone.
I'd like to connect a Compaq GDR-8081N notebook dvd drive to my
desktop pc via the usual ide bus. I just don't know how :-)
The connector on the back of the dvd drive looks a little like this
(looking at the back of the drive).
__________________________________
/ \
| --------------------------------- |
\__________________________________/
It's a male connector jutting out of the case. The bar in the middle
has 34 connection point on top and 34 on the bottom.
All I found were adaptors from 44 pins to 40 pins for AT-Bus HDDs. And
I fear that they won't fit.
Does anyone know the name (or maybe even the specification) of this
connector and if there is an adaptor to EIDE?
Thanks!

Connecting a 3590 /3590e tape drive to a PCHi All,
Recently, we received a pile of 3590 tapes from one of our customers,
and we have no way of reading them. After a bit of digging, I found
some reasonably priced refurbs (http://www.tapedrives-3480to3590.com/),
though I'm still in a bit of sticker-shock.
My extremely naive question:
What's involved (hardware/software) in connecting one of these suckers
to a Win2000 PC? Is this fairly easy, or will I need to go back to
school.
Basically, I'm wondering if I'm better off sending the tapes for
conversion.

Two drives: OS on Drive 1, Progs on Drive 2, My Docs on which?Hi
I'm considering my partition options to give the best performance.
I already have a single Western Digital Raptor WD1500 ADFD.
I have my OS (XP Pro), applications and documents in separate partitions so
obviously
the drive head is having to spend a lot of time moving between them.
I wondered what improvement might be gained if I bought a second WD1500 and
changed where I store things.
So would it be better to have the OS and apps in separate partitions on
Drive 1 and My Docs on Drive 2? Or OS on 1, apps on 2, My Docs on which?

In outline, you'll either need to plug the drive into a RISC OS
computer, or into a PC chassis running Linux, with an add-on to read
the files.
As far as I know you can't read them under Windows.
(There might be something related to Red Squirrel/Virtual Acorn, but i
suspect you'd need the emulator for that to work.)
no doubt you'll get more precise/accurate answers soon.

Backup OS-9 hard drives on PC hardware.When I was trying to back up my SyQuest EZ135 SCSI hard drive on a PC,
I ran in to an interesting problem. I had the PC (parallel) version of
the EZ135, and a SCSI version (hooked to my OS-9 machine). When I
inserted a non-DOS formatted platter, the PC would not recognize it.
The BIOS (or something) wanted the first sector to be PC-ish. So, my
solution was to write a quick program in C to back up the first 512
bytes (sector) of the OS-9 disk, and copy the 512-byte sector from a PC
disk to the OS-9 disk. This created an OS-9 disk (unusuable) that
would be recognized by the PC. From...

How to enable hardware compression on Sony SDX-400C AIT-1 tape drive?Hello,
i'd like to switch on the hardware compression of my Sony SDX-400C AIT-1 tape drive. But how?
I'm using 2.6.26-2-amd64 kernel on Debian Lenny.
I tried switching on the compression with mt-st (V1.1):
# mt-st -f /dev/nst0 compression on
# echo $?
0
But nothing changed.
mt-st -f /dev/nst0 compression without further argument didn't show any result.
Even
# mt-st -f /dev/nst0 compression Dasfsf
didn't report any error.
So this command seems to be totally meaningless to the drive.
Density code is 0x30:

Bad luck. Do you have a receipt?
Take the old drive to the shop and show it to the sales boy. When he
asks "did you look up both model numbers and installation details on
their manufacturer's website", just lie - tell him the internet was
broke....
