Early Beige G3 machines (those with a "Rev 1" motherboard with an ATI RageII+ chip) do not support slave IDE drives. To use a second hard drive with this machine, you would have to attach it to the internal or external SCSI connector, use install a PCI IDE card. Later G3 machines do not have this limitation. See http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/G3-ZONE/IDE/index.html for more information. I have a revision A or B iMac.

Okay, sure, some MIPS machines aren't the fastest boxes on the block these days. However, despite the age of some of these beasts, they still can make very functional, useful machines. A Cobalt Qube 2 could make a very nice broadband Internet router, capable of hosting websites, email, IRC and numerous other tasks. There are a number of reasons why you'd want to install Linux on this sort of hardware. Status Symbol: Linux on x86 is so common these days it's not funny.

No, RADIUS was designed for individual PC use and certain configuration files will not work if the program is stored anywhere but the C: drive.

We believe that it is better to have an audio drive that stores all audio material that is separate from the system drive.

Download the Unix version of PostMaster (pm_other.zip). Should you have a problem downloading it and you are in India, please contact us and we will ship you a CD with the software, at our cost. Make sure you have Java 1.1.x on your Linux computer. You can obtain a free copy from java.sun.com. Java 1.1.6 is available on the PostMaster CD, which we will be happy to ship across anywhere in India at our cost. Please feel free contact us, if you need to.

Although facilities for this operation are available on the CD, I have never attempted to do it. Aside from this fact, there are still some good reasons NOT to install "the Hack" on your hard drive. The knx-installer is still available on this CD. Do a Google for more specific and up-to-date instructions applicable to your hardware and situation.

You can use this Live-CD perfectly for most anything a PC can do. (surfing, playing movies or music, watching tv, writing your dissertation, solving problems with your hard drive ...) Installation to the hard drive is much more comfortable and lots faster than running a system off CD. So, lets get going! This How-To is specifically for Kanotix 2005-04 (for older versions refer to: http://wiki.kanotix.net/coma.

Just use your order number to re-register by going to help/register... If you do not know your order number send an email to support@modelworks.com with your name, email address, the name of the product and when and where you purchased it. If it was purchased by someone other than you, please provide details.

Yes, but only with Linux and homebrew software. PSBBN checks the firmware of the HDD and Sony customizes the firmware of their HDD units. Until someone manages to crack the firmware and make it so you can put the changes on your own hard drive, you need an official HDD unit from Sony to use with games. Here's proof that the Sony HDD is just a relabled Maxtor hard drive. I've scanned my hard drive right here.

Ans: A standard 40-wire IDE cable WILL work with ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100 or ATA-133 drives but it will only allow 33MB/s performance. However, it is recommended that you use an Ultra ATA 80-wire/40-pin cable no matter what your drive rating for several reasons: wire/40-pin cables offer improved data reliability and signal integrity by adding 40 more ground wires than standard 40-wire/40-pin IDE cables.

The obvious answer is to use 'disklabel -w -r /dev/rwd1d'. Unfortunately, this does not always put a real disklabel on the drive. The symptom is that the drive labels and can be used until the system is reset, at which point the system tries to read the label from the disk. It was never actually written to the disk, so the operation fails. There are also reports that the /usr/mdec files are corrupted in some of the distributions.

To make the boot code default to drive 1 look in /sys/{arch/}i386/bootboot.c for the following (or similar.

Windows communicates with the various devices in your computer using drivers. One of these drivers allows it to read the hard disk, which leads to an interesting chicken-and-egg situation: How does Windows read the hard disk in order to load the driver that allows it to read the hard disk? The answer is that during the very earliest part of the boot process, the hard disk is visible in a primitive way through the BIOS.

Due to the uniqueness of many of these devices where most components does not have Linux drivers readily available, we currently does not offer Linux installation on all devices. However, we are more than happy to assist you to find resources that can assist you on installing Linux OS yourselves.

If you need to install Windows NT and Linux on the same machine, read the Linux and NT HOWTO that has been prepared by Bernd Reichert. The latest version can be found at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Linux+NT-Loader.html. Partition and install Windows NT first, making sure to leave space for Linux to place its partitions. If possible, do not create any logical partitions, as we have had reports of this causing problems. Get NT running and its boot loader happy.

The installer includes support for generic IDE devices, CDROMs connected via an Adaptec SCSI interface, and CDROMs connected via USB. If your drive doesn't fit into any of these categories, then the installer also includes the ability to use a driver you provide (although in many cases finding a USB CDROM drive will be easier than finding a driver . . .).

Well, not really. Macromedia has not supplied a linux/ppc binary and open source implementations are incomplete and buggy at this time. Three projects that are working on this problem are: Another possible workaround for now is to use qemu (an x86 emulator) to run the Macromedia Flash Player 6 stand alone player.
