Connecting PC 1.44MB drive to a A3010
I'm having problems connecting a Sony 1.44mb pc drive to my A3010. I remember something about having to cut a cable on the IDC lead for other older platforms. The only thing I can remember is that this switches the drive to drive ID 0. Would this help with my problem ?

I suppose you issued a "Configure floppies 1" (at CLI prompt) at one point,
didn't you ?

Connecting printer on eCS1.1 PC to WinXP SP1 PC
I 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. Jim More info: I was able to obtain the use of the printer on the eCS syst...
Q
Hi 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 7.1
I 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. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seagate-STD62400N-Ext--DAT-24-12%2F24Gb-DDS3-Tape-Drive_W0QQitemZ300378486086QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20091217?IMSfp=TL091217187002r9830 Is there any way to serialize the connection of disk drives and a tape like I tried to do ?

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 PC
Hi 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. Thanks, zanek It's pretty easy. With th...
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? Is there another arrangement you woul...
Copy files from Acorn Risc Hard Drive to PC ?
I have been asked by a friend to rescue some sibelius files from an old Acorn Risc hard drive - can I just plug this onto a normal IDE connector in a PC and copy them from within Windows ?

Or is there some other way ? 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. -- Alan Adams, from Northamptonshire alan.adams@orchard-way.freeserve.co.uk http://www.nckc.org.uk/ On Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:50:16 +0000, Isis wrote: > I have been asked by a friend to rescue some sibelius files from an old > Acorn Risc hard drive - can I just plug this onto a normal IDE connector > in a PC and copy them from within Windows ?

Labview program to find the external hardwares connected with the PC
Hai All, Do any one know how to find the external hardware details connected with our PC (like USB memory stick), using labview program. That's completely dependant upon the interface the external hardware uses to connect to the PC, but you can get details of just about anything...Why not just use Windows device manager? That's assuming the user is running Windows. :smileywink:If you are under Windows you can access this information from the Registry. For example, for USB you can look at the keyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB.Message Edited by smercurio_fc on 04-30-2008 10:39 AM continued <a href="http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=320567" target="_blank">here</a> ...
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...
HELP: MacOSX crashes when connecting to shared PC drive
Hi all, I lend my G4 Powerbook to a colleague who's PC laptop got stolen (and was secretly hoping to convert her to the Mac). However she is making extensive use of the shared network drive (which is a PC drive) and when she connects to the drive the Mac just freezes after a while. Or when she tries to open a document which when opened from a PC displays the error "some additional files could not be found" (but opens it fine anyway) it brings the whole system down on the Mac.

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.

I bought a new 320 Gig 7,200rpm 2 1/2 inch drive and when I got home and installed it it did not show up as a drive. I removed the drive and had a look at the connector and realised that the connector is different and I can't use the new drive. The old drive is a 250Gb SATA drive as well.

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. Jim More info: I was able to obtain the use of the printer on the eCS syst...
Q
Hi 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 7.1
I 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. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Seagate-STD62400N-Ext--DAT-24-12%2F24Gb-DDS3-Tape-Drive_W0QQitemZ300378486086QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20091217?IMSfp=TL091217187002r9830 Is there any way to serialize the connection of disk drives and a tape like I tried to do ?

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 PC
Hi 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. Thanks, zanek It's pretty easy. With th...
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? Is there another arrangement you woul...
Copy files from Acorn Risc Hard Drive to PC ?
I have been asked by a friend to rescue some sibelius files from an old Acorn Risc hard drive - can I just plug this onto a normal IDE connector in a PC and copy them from within Windows ? Or is there some other way ? Thanks for any help.

Or is there some other way ? 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. -- Alan Adams, from Northamptonshire alan.adams@orchard-way.freeserve.co.uk http://www.nckc.org.uk/ On Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:50:16 +0000, Isis wrote: > I have been asked by a friend to rescue some sibelius files from an old > Acorn Risc hard drive - can I just plug this onto a normal IDE connector > in a PC and copy them from within Windows ?

Labview program to find the external hardwares connected with the PC
Hai All, Do any one know how to find the external hardware details connected with our PC (like USB memory stick), using labview program. That's completely dependant upon the interface the external hardware uses to connect to the PC, but you can get details of just about anything...Why not just use Windows device manager? That's assuming the user is running Windows. :smileywink:If you are under Windows you can access this information from the Registry. For example, for USB you can look at the keyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\USB.Message Edited by smercurio_fc on 04-30-2008 10:39 AM continued <a href="http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=320567" target="_blank">here</a> ...
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...
HELP: MacOSX crashes when connecting to shared PC drive
Hi all, I lend my G4 Powerbook to a colleague who's PC laptop got stolen (and was secretly hoping to convert her to the Mac). However she is making extensive use of the shared network drive (which is a PC drive) and when she connects to the drive the Mac just freezes after a while. Or when she tries to open a document which when opened from a PC displays the error "some additional files could not be found" (but opens it fine anyway) it brings the whole system down on the Mac. Help! This is getting embarrassing. Powerbook G4 667, 512 MB RAM, MacOS X 10.2.6 Thanks Markus ...

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: # mt-st -f /dev/nst0 status SCSI 2 tape drive: File n...

Bought a new 2 1/2 inch drive but the connection is different, what gives.
I bought a new 320 Gig 7,200rpm 2 1/2 inch drive and when I got home and installed it it did not show up as a drive. I removed the drive and had a look at the connector and realised that the connector is different and I can't use the new drive. The old drive is a 250Gb SATA drive as well. What gives here, why is there two different types of connectors for SATA laptop drives? Cheers.
