list of ide harddisk specs configuration of ide harddisks last update collected by carsten grammes ph hucg rz uni sb de and published regularly on comp sys ibm pc hardware there is explicitly no warranty that the given settings are correct or harmless i only collect i do not check for myself there is always the possibility that the settings may destroy your hardware since i hope however that only well minded people undergo the effort of posting their settings the chance of applicability exists if you should agree or disagree with some setting let me know immediately in order to update the list if you possess a hd not mentioned here of which you know bios and or jumper settings please mail them to me for the next update of the list only ide at bus harddisks will be accounted for if not specified the landing zone should be set equal to the number of cylinders if not specified the write precompensation should be set there are bioses that don t even ask for it another statement maybe right ide harddisk don t have precomp and lzone the precomp is a built in parameter and lzone isn t used because most if not every ide disk has autopark the jumpers names are given as printed on the hd s board often only a jumper number jp means the jumper a zero means that the jumper is left open a one means that the jumper is closed c o n n e r conner peripherals drive geometry ide at conner

to the protocal the takes place between the two drives when performing diagnostics there are four links lk lk lk and lk adjacent to the way interface connector they have the following functions and are described in order as viewed from the end of the drive with the first jumper described nearest the way interface connector lk led when fitted this jumper connects the led drive to pin of the interface this allows a led to be connected to the interface an external current limiting resistor needs to be fitted in series with the led when this option is selected the value of the resistor will be dependant on the led type chosen but will be in the range of ohms ot ohms lk dual drives this jumper must be fitted when two drives are attached to a single bus it fallows communication across the way interface connector indicating to the master drive the presence of a slave lk master when fitted this signifies that the drive jumpered is a master if there are two drives connected on a single bus then only one may be jumpered in this way lk iochrdy when fitted this connects the iochrdy signal to the drive it is fitted when the drive is used in host systems that have a higher data transfer rate than the drive i e greater than mbytes per second when using interleave this jumper is not normally fitted as most hosts transfer at a lower rate than mbytes per second there are four possible

parity error system halted anyone have any ideas i recently bought an amd the motherboard booklet says the board is a wb h i have x simms on board the machine also uses a super ide i o card model pt of course niether the motherboard or the i o card booklet clearly state who the manufacurers are i m also using a trident c svga card anyway that s all of the pertinent info i can think of my problem is that the computer often freezes or displays parity error system halted messages depending on whether i set the memory parity error checking to disabled or enabled in the setup of the bios makes sense its ami bios so it must be an ami board i just took it back to the dealer and they replaced all of the simms but i keep getting the same error more frequently now it all worked at the dealer and didn t start screwing up till i got home figures i ve tried to take out all of the simms and even re inserted them in reverse order making sure that the connections were solid my suspicion jumps to this damn all in one hd controller serial parallel game port i o card or to the motherboard god forbid can anyone help thanks peace david geller gelldav elof acc iit edu

re what is at bus clk speed in article apr debbie cc nctu edu tw is cc nctu edu tw wei shi hwu writes robert desonia robert desonia hal k ann arbor mi us wrote s there is one param in the bios setup that says at bus clk i have s it set to the default of but was able to get it to work with s the si at was something i didnt want to mess anything up s so i set it back to also the pc didnt boot with it set at s s what exactlt dows this do and should i leave it at i think it s impossible to let at bus operated too much more than mhz i have a c t neat mother board and i set the at bus clock to mhz but the hd stopped when it boot so it s correct that clk n means how many wait states sm i think it all depends on your motherboard and the cards you have in your system your hd stopped boot probably because your hd controller can t handle the faster bus speed i have a dx i set my bus divider to clk that is close to mhz i can gain singificant performace increase on my video card and harddisk transfer rate when i boost the bus speed and my system work flawlessly under this setting and you know what when i go to clk mhz bus my hd refuse to boot just my cent jim

help blowing the stack hi everyone i have a question regarding my stack on my pc i am programming in turbo c and my program is rather large model large too i keep getting errors that i am running out of memory after a while of running the program when i compile the program it says i have meg of ram so i can t seem to explain why it crashes all it is doing is running in a loop while the operator is idle and after a while of sitting it will screw up all the variables this leads me to believe that my stack is filling up and overflowing does the program take memory up when it is calling void functions that do not return anything i have been working on this problem for days and i would really appreciate any responce if this is not the correct newsgroup i will gladly re post but this is the only i could find thanks in advance sean mars email mars carroll cc edu carroll college waukesha wi

re modems and uarts ryan jeffrey baucom rjbaucom eos ncsu edu wrote what is a uart i don t know the exact meaning of uart but i think it is something like universal arithmetic receiver transmitter normally the older boards have a or uart on board those chips generate an irq for every char they received the uart has an internal byte buffer so with the right software installed it generates an irq every chars what does it do for high speed modems is it necessary for k or higher throughput if you ran dos you don t need a because dos runs only one task at a time and the whole cpu power could be used for the transfer but if you are running a multitasking os such as os unix etc windows the cpu cannot work the whole time with one task the result are lost characters or broken transmissions because of timeouts is it only for internal modems no the only diffrence is that internal modems have the uart on board whereas external modems are connected to the computer over a serial port which has the uart on board if you have any experience with or higher speed modems please let me know what you think also any particular brand name reccomended or will a cheapo clone do just a well i use a zyxel b with a uart under coherent i m very satisfied with it but i think that nearly everyone is satisfied with his own modem michael michael jester gun de michael gerhards preussenstrasse germany neuss voice

ide cable i just bought a new ide hard drive for my system to go with the one i already had my problem is this my system only had a ide cable for one drive so i had to buy cable with two drive connectors on it and consequently have to switch cables the problem is the new hard drive s manual refers to matching pin on the cable with both pin on the drive itself and pin on the ide card but for the life of me i cannot figure out how to tell which way to plug in the cable to align these secondly the cable has like a connector at two ends and one between them i figure one end goes in the controler and then the other two go into the drives does it matter which i plug into the master drive and which into the slave any help appreciated thanks

help adding a scsi drive i have a sx computer with a mg seagate ide drive and a controler built into the motherboard i want to add a scsi drive a quantum prodrive f mg formatted i have no documentation at all and i need your help as i understand it here is the process of adding such a drive could you please tell me if i m right buy a scsi contoler which one i know adaptec is good but they are kind of expensive are there any good boards in the region i want it to be compatible with os and unix if possible also i have seen on the net that there are scsi and scsi drives is this true does the adapter need to be the same as the drive what type of drive is the quantum connect the drive to the adapter via a scsi cable and the power cable do i have to worry about the power supply i think i have watts and all i m powering are two floppies and the seagate drive setup the bios to recognize the drive as the second drive what type of drive is this i don t have the numbers for this drive format and create partitions on the drive do i use format or fdisk i think that ide drives can t be low level formatted is it the same with scsi how exactly does fdisk work i have a reduced msdos manual clone obliges and there is no mention of fdisk ideally i would want the drive partitioned in to two partitions d and e how do i do this well that seems to be all is there anythiing i m forgetting any help is really appreciated i m lost eric ebosco us oracle com

re run box w o cover biernat rtsg mot com tim biernat writes i am interested in getting the pulse of this group regarding extended operation of my g k v with the cover removed from the enclosure there are a of reasons i am considering this including quick access to jumpers during complex i o card setups my concern is that without a complete enclosure to direct the cooling flow of air from the fan hot spots may develop on my motherboard or elsewhere my g k has intake air vents in the front of the enclosure right at mb level these vents would be removed along with the top cover in this scenario rendering airflow from the fan pretty useless however short periods in this mode don t seem to heat things up too much but my conclusions are far from scientific tim i ran a out of a cardboard box for more than a year with no major effects yeah no case at all mb sitting on a static bag other than the noise from the poersupply it ran pretty good as for cooling problems i bought a inch fan and turned it on full and set the output directly on the motherboard i did finally get a case though and i am still running the parts with no ill effects i also had no kids to spill things on the mb i had no cat leaving hair on the mb etc etc on and on the two major concerns are keeping static away and keeping the mb cool enjoy david china cat bbs c cat david sed csc com n uunet mimsy anagld c cat david

re help installing second ide drive another possibility is that the mb one is already partitioned into two seperate drives c and d and the cmos asks for c drive and d drive setup info rather than drive and drive like most others i ve seen could this be confusing things so i need help the drive came bereft of any docs except for some info for the cmos setup the controller has a little piece of paper about the size of an index card i cannibalized the cable it s one of those with a connector at each end and the one in the middle so it looks like a serial connection now i be lost many many thanks in advance this is practically an emergency i have two papers to do on this thing for monday help william barnes suranet operations wbarnes sura net voice fax disclaimer i don t speak for suranet and they don t speak for me i ve been told by our local computer guru that you can t do this unless you perform a low level format on your existing hard drive and set your system up for two hard drives from the beginning i took him at his word and i have not tried to find out any more about it because i m not going to back everything up just to add another hdd if anyone knows for sure what the scoop is i would like to know also thanks in advance also bill willis if you bought your ide drive from a dealer you shouldn t have to perform a low level format even if the st hd is already partitioned into c and d fdisk will automatically assign the nd hd to d and change the nd partition of st drive to e check the jumper settings and cmos setup in particular the correct number of cylinders and tracks

re nutek faces apple s wrath article read in article davea davea xetron com david p alverson writes i believe apple has a patent on the region features of quickdraw a mac clone would have to implement regions this is why apple s comment was that they believe it is not possible to make a mac clone without infringing on their patents they may have other patents like this apple has patented their implementation of regions which presumably includes the internal data structure which has never been officially documented by apple apple cannot patent the concept of a region i m guessing that either nutek reverse engineered apple s internal data structure for regions i dunno if this would hold up in court or they came up with their own data structure if it s the latter then they won t be able to draw pict files containing regions besides pict files there aren t many places where regions are stored on disk quicktime movies perhaps as long as the region isn t being stored on disk and transferred from a mac to a nutek clone or vice versa it doesn t matter if nutek uses a completely different internal data structure i remember reading that apple also has a patent on their adb hardware and that the nutek clones would therefore be lacking an adb port what other patents does apple have on the mac joe schwartz e mail xor acm rpi edu or xor clotho acm rpi edu mapinfo corp broadway these are my own opinions any similarity to the troy ny opinions of mapinfo corporation is purely coincidental

re your opinion of the laserwriter select my wife has one of these i have not had much chance to fiddle with it but in comparison to our laserwriters with canon engines she complains that the print is too light for her taste the difference is quite apparent even when the print setting on the select is adjusted to the darkest possible level i don t find it objectionable and indeed rather like it but be warned that some people don t care for it and it is considerably different i recall that years ago there were lots of debates over write black vs write white engines when dealing with tex drivers is something like that going on here

re cd rom multisession in article pgifo efb msuinfo cl msu edu gary ah cal msu edu writes as i said i know a multisession cd rom is necessary if you do more photos but what if it is just a writable cd rom drive and do a second session do you need one for that too if you write a second time to a cd you need to have multi session capability to read the second session whether it is photos or just data or whatever here is a simplified way of looking at it the first session has the directory structure burned at some tracks the second session has a newer directory structure but the first directory still exists because you cannot change only add so if you put that in a normal drive and it will only look to the first directory and think it has found all data multisession kindof means that the drive will look for the last directory written to the disc older systems look only for the directory not taking multiple directories into account lex van sonderen philips interactive media

disappointed by la cie approximately four months ago i purchased a quantum lps hd from la cie for after two months the drive started having problems first there were intermittent freezes then corrupted files and resources then silverlining wouldn t even recognize the drive so i got an rma from la cie and exchanged the new drive for a reconditioned one well about a month has passed now and the second drive is having problems often when i boot up my iisi i get the flashing question mark sometimes if i then insert the silverlining program i can get it to recognize the drive by making it scan over and over for drives at that point i can restart the iisi and boot from the hd i ve called la cie again and they ve given me another rma their tech support people tell me that if silverlining doesn t see the drive there s a definite hardware problem given that this is the second bad drive in four months i asked la cie to send me a new one but they said no also within three weeks after i purchased my original drive la cie dropped the price on it by over i can accept that a drive or two may be bad and i know that hardware vendors make a practice of sending reconditioned replacements when they do repairs and i understand that the nature of the computer industry lends itself to sudden price fluctuations nevertheless taken together the convergence of these facts events have left a bad taste in my mouth i should have added above that when i asked la cie to transfer the contents of my current drive to the one they will send i think the data is still in good shape and i ll have to again reinstall everything from floppies they said it would cost me for data recovery it seems to me that reconditioned hardware should be sold as reconditioned at a discounted price and that replacements for new hardware gone bad still covered under a day warranty should be new i feel a little helpless about all this i don t mean to necessarily flame la cie their support staff have always been friendly and sometimes even helpful but c mon sometimes a little extra customer service goes a long way i sent a letter to la cie s customer service when the first drive was returned and i asked them for a credit on the price difference since i had purchased the drive three weeks before they slashed the price i told them i would like to apply the credit toward the purchase of another la cie product they didn t even have the courtesy to reply one way or the other what s the moral of this story i m not sure but i do know i won t buy any other products from la cie in the future bill krauthammer f ehg umiami ir miami edu ps please don t email or post about how good your la cie product and service has been i m not suggesting that they are not a good company or anything like that all i m saying is that i ve had a disappointing experience with them and i ll be taking my business elsewhere in the future

re info on apple gc requested in article apr alijku edvz uni linz ac at norbert mueller k alijku edvz uni linz ac at writes newsgroups comp sys mac hardware in article prudhom iros serge prud homme prudhom iro umontreal ca writes any info on the video processor am that sit on it any way to program that chip what companie makes that chip apple was never able to provide any docs or tools to program that chip i value it as the least value per piece of computer hardware i ever bought due to the complete lack support tools there was a refund for us buyers of this card but we europeans were left out in the rain once again i agree completely but there was only a refund for people who bought the gc with a quadra i have seen an alpha version of an extension from apple called gc quicktime video which offloads quicktime compression decompression from the cpu to the am on the card so it seems it can be done even though in a developer article it states that the gc can t be programmed but they asked that any suggestions be sent in anyway steve margelis melbourne university

re mac os on a in article c bj e imag fr you write hillman hillman plk af mil wrote deathbird cmu edu donpaul c stephens kind of slated wouldn t you say who is going to throw all that to the side and get the mac os for not quite the point to be considdered here fact if when apple release system or what ever is current at the time of release then you will see shortly afterwards apple no longer producing hardware look at next with their nextstep to see what happens who is going to pay apples prices when they can get the same thing cheaper else where heck we can get a sun workstation cheaper than a quadra and infact we have a number of times it all comes down to if apple released this before windows was released i d be behind them they missed the boat so why is apple continued development will it support the p to its fullest capabilities run faster than windows it must do something significantly better than windows and os to warrent being released no the continued develeopment is because there is becomming less and less profit in hardware so the next step no pun intended well sort of is to make the money in software look at microsoft if you think it can t happen after all you can sell multiple pieces of software to one hardware platform as you also said windows is a nightmare for programmers so will the temptation to sell system to a couple of million dos users be too much for apple million copies is serious money sir office acme gen nz be thankfull that we dont get all the government we pay for

re macplus freezes after hour use fails to boot in article osu inn r tamsun tamu edu mclean math tamu edu robert mclean wrote my macplus is having problems which seem temperature related after using it for a while it freezes the when i turn off then on the screen doesn t show the disk icon and then goes dark i consulted larry pina s book and could not find these symptoms has anybody else seen such symptoms suggestions shure it is temperature dependent but this does not clean all your problems based on some exp i must say that the connections between the power supply and the monitor and main board are usable to this failure ram simms can be badly connected due to some corrosion and the powersupply can be in the last phase lower voltage so you can do following if you are used to such technical terms clean all mentioned contacts with contact spray readjust the volt level of your powersupply use a calm fan and think of preventing dust blowin through the floppy a fixed piece of paper can prevent this if you don t know how to do it beg a friendly technician christian bauer bauer informatik uni ulm de

re what do y all think of the iivx in article p e tinnojp minerva cis yale edu bell peter yale edu peter bell writes my advisor has decided to get a mac for the lab now that we are funded again the consensus in the lab was that all we really needed was an lciii but he decided he wanted a centris the lack of an fpu on that machine and the price struck me as making it worth less than an lciii so i have suggested we get a iivx instead it seems heavily expandable and for what do people with iivx s think of them they seem like good machines to me and i like the nubus slots in case we ultimately decide we want to do work with video on it the iivx lciii performance at a centris price the only reason to get an iivx is if you really need the full size nubus slots keep in mind that the supports all apple monitors and has optional ethernet this lessens but doesn t eliminate the need for nubus cards and unless you re running fpu intensive software the will blow the doors off the lciii and the iivx the lciii on the other hand is sufficient for most people and has a great price if you haven t guessed i find halving the bus clock the iivx mhz up vs mhz bus a throughly bad thing and i hope apple never does it again joe finete jfinete cats ucsc edu

adapter cable for vga monitors does anyone know who makes a cable or adapter that is wired according to apple s specs that forces the external output on lc s and the powerbook s and duo into a true vga style output signal the nec adapter does not do this since their monitors are multisync they just route the signal into the correct pinout but do not switch the macs output into vga mode do i have to make one of these or does someone already have one made up the following is the apple spec for the lc cpu vga cable adapter i m assuming that the powerbooks duos will work with the same adapter macintosh lc to vga the macintosh lc can supply a x vga timed signal for use with vga monitors by using an adapter cable the standard macintosh lc supports vga to colors and with the optional k vram simm the vga monitor is supported to colors note the macintosh lc supplies signals capable of driving ttl level inputs however some low impedance input vga monitors do not work with the macintosh lc to connect a macintosh lc to a vga monitor you need to make an adapter cable from the macintosh lc video connector to the vga monitor following is the pinout description for the adapter cable macintosh lc vga video connector pin signal name red ground red video signal green video signal green ground blue video signal blue ground hsync vsync hsync ground nc sense sense tied together vga monitors are identified by shorting pin to pin on the macintosh lc video connector the macintosh lc grounds pin on its video connector which results in pulling down pin and gives the correct monitor id for a vga monitor this message was created on mcw bbs a jointly supported by new orleans mac user group national home school user group user maccomw uucp the views expressed in this posting those of the individual author only

forsale radius precision color x video card i have a radius precision color x video card for the mac that fits in a nubus slot the card has mb of vram on it which means that bit color is possible on the card the card supports just about any monitor scan rate you can think of i used it at x x and x but it can go higher you can switch resolutions and depth on the fly with a software control panel this is the accelerated version of the card which means all quickdraw calls are not executed by the cpu but taken over by the video card freeing up the mac processor for other tasks the cheapest i could find this card for when i called around last night was at mac s place i will sell it for shipping it is just over a year old and never been any problem it comes with software and the original manuals hurry chris magnuson chrism col hp com hewlett packard company

laserwriter pro memory upgrade i ve got the official word on the laserwriter pro memory upgrade i just got off of the phone with the quite friendly donna rossi at apple customer assistance she tells me that those who purchased the laserwriter pro in a megabyte dpi no greyscale configuration should contact their original dealers who are supposed provide the meg memory upgrade for those who don t know the extra meg will allow printing at dpi or greyscale at dpi if the dealers have questions they should be directed to their hardware support numbers and or apple customer assistance corporate number regards glenn p s personally i m annoyed at our school bookstore they really have an obligation to provide this information to all of the customers who purchased the in the original configuration they have the records that s why they ask for things like a phone number when i get my upgrade completed i m going to write apple and complain

thanks apple free ethernet on my c well i just got my centris yesterday it took just over two weeks from placing the order the dealer rutgers computer store appologized because apple made a substitution on my order i ordered the one without ethernet but they substituted one with ethernet he wanted to know if that would be alright with me they must be backlogged on centri w out ethernet so they re just shipping them with anyway i m very happy with the with a few exceptions being nosy i decided to open it up before powering it on for the first time the scsi cable to the hard drive was only partially connected must have come loose in shipping no big deal but i would have been pissed if i tried to boot it and it wouldn t come up the hard drive also has an annoying high pitched whine i ve heard apple will exchange it if you complain so i might try to get it swapped i am also dissappionted by the lack of soft power on off this wasn t mentioned in any of the literature i saw also the location of the reset interupt buttons is awful having keyboard control for these functions was much more convenient oh and the screen seems tojump in a wierd way on power up i ve seen this mentioned by others so it must be a feature anyway above all it s fast a great machine at a great price gnelson physics rutgers edu

re installing ram in a quadra truesdel ics uci edu scott truesdell writes this is an aside to brian hughes s please let s lose the cute phony names everybody posting about adding memory to a quadra what phony names my name is clearly visible in the headers and i sing the post with my account name if you have a problem with that then you will have to get over it i ve used this account name for over years and the people who have been reading newsgroups for the last generally recognize hades as my account name i have no intention of changing the way i post i installed a couple of mb simms in my quadra and was somewhat dismayed by the general complexity of the operation compared to for example the wonderfully designed lc iii it irritates me when apple refuses to tell how to do it in the user s manual so you have to guess at how to disassemble the devise in question it s the same for adding memory to laserwriter pro s it isn t apple s responsibility to tell its customers how to fool around with it s hardware that is what apple service techs get paid to do i personally like the design of the q and applaud apple for coming up with a good way to make use of the front space for all of those drive bays i like it a lot better than the design except for those people who need drive arrays i do however agree with you about the lw pro design the operation isn t very complicated if even a minimal amount of help were offered but apple leaves you working blind again its s not apple s place to make it easy for non certified service people to fool around with apple hardware even if they did buy it of course you are free to do what you want to your mac just don t get upset when your apple service rep tells you that your warranty is no longer valid after the memory was installed i was distraught that the top of the simms came into contact with the plastic case frame mine actually contacted the framework with quite a lot of pressure enough so that the assembly of the board back to the proper position was rather difficult and required some force i could have filed a little excess material off the top of the simm boards but chose to let it stand as is i have not had problems with ram yet so i will consider the problem annoying but not catastrophic this sounds like the kind of problem i had when i installed mb simms into an lc back before low profile mb simms were readily available the standard mb simms would contact the top of the case and make it a bit difficult to close the lc but it did close and work just fine one of the nice things about logic boards is that they are generally quite flexible and can withstand a fair amount of pressure hades

re whats this thermal recalibration on quantum drives in article mar midway uchicago edu gary midway uchicago edu writes whether the drive is hooked up to the computer or not the lps makes a disk seek noise every seconds this is consistent and will continue as lomg as the drive is powered up even if i disconnect the drive from the computer this drive activity continues at second intervals someone tried to tell me the drive was doing a thermal recalibration not knowing beans about the internal physical workings of the lastest disk drive technology i guess i might believe anything whats the scoop on this standalone drive activity every sec i can only comment on thermal recalibration in general some new drives perform it in order to increase overall integrity of data writes basically the firmware instructs the actuator to perform a test to see if the data tracks are within a certain physical tolerance since when the media heats up or cools down some track drift is inevitable and the drive has to monitor it this becomes especially critical at very high recording densities and so was used primarily on very large capacity mechanisms but it seems to be finding its way into more smaller drives as a way of boosting the drive s long term reliability and mtbf ratings i first became aware of thermal recalibration when it was pointed out that the technique conflicts with prolonged write times when digitizing say audio or video to hard disk some manufacturers explicitly state that drives with thermal recalibration are not to be used for applications that have prolonged disk writes hope this helps victor
