Hi - just to introduce myself to the list. I've got a 755C on
which I either run Linux (Redhat 5.0) or Windoze 3.1 if I'm
desperate.
I've got a few questions though:
- I have a DOCK 1. I'd like a CURRENT part number for the
external SCSI lead. Does anyone else use the DOCK 1 with linux
and use the SCSI for either CDROM or harddrive? Does it work
straight away or are there config issues such as interrupt
settings? What about hot plugging? Presumably the internal SCSI
lead is a fairly standard 50-way job.
The cable is standard, but as far as I know no one has ever gotten the
Dock I SCSI to work under Linux.
- Any help getting LILO to stay working would be appreciated - I
have to boot via a floppy at the moment.
I have LILO working on my 755C -- what is the problem you're having?
I've appended my "/etc/lilo.conf" file.
- Memory expansion - I currently have 8MB, I understand I can
either replace the 4MB card under the floppy with a 16, or get an
adaptor - can you use standard SIMMs or DIMMs with the adaptor,
and is the adaptor still available?
You can't use standard SIMMs or DIMMs. There's also no reason to get
an adaptor -- Kingston sells memory modules for these computers up to
at least 32 MB. We have bought several 32 MB modules and they work
fine.
