Why don't you try a USB-to-IDE adapter that plugs directly into the drive. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=12-156-001&depa=0 I'm not sure how well it works under linux since this one doesn't explicitly say it works with linux.

I have a HP LaserJet 2200 configured to work through SMB/cups. It works fine. The only problem is that the duplex unit is not installed. How do I install it?

by Robert Rozman 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Hi, I've seen some minimal systems that were using Suse Rescue as Suse minimal installation system + ssh and few apps. They were really small (aqround 30Megs). Can I use Suse rescue on disk as separate bootable partition ? How to transfer Rescue image to harddisc and use it from there ? Thanks in advance, regards, Rob.

Puzzle PCI sound-card
by Bahram Alinezhad 28 Mar '05

28 Mar '05

Hello, Can someone find what is this *PCI* sound-card? 1- Neither Windows nor Linux have its driver. 2- This is the output of "lspci": [...] Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs: Unknown device 0003 [...] 3- On its board, you see: Sound BLASTER AWE64D MODEL:CT4650 4- On its chipset, you see: CREATIVE EMU8008 [...] CT8800 - SAT [...] 5- Creative website has no drivers for AWE64 or CT4650 (am I wrong?) or it seems that these models are *ISA* (am I wrong?) and Creative assumes that Windows has its drivers and so, they offer only updates.

I sure do not want to in any way support any company that is not fully supportive of Linux. I looked on NewEgg but only found an Asus and a Biostar that supported the A socket (for my AMD Athlon 2500 cpu) and also has the nForce2 chipset. Does this mean that the Linux-friendly mobo manufacturers do not still make one like that or is there a different socket that will also host my AMD cpu?

Creative no longer supported that card about 3 - 4 years ago. You will prob need to find someone that has the actual driver cd. I highly doubt there were Linux drivers for it however. Sorry Erik
