As far as I could tell in college (in 1975) my 6501 (not 6502) machine
was generating most of it's music (based on whatever code I toggled
into it's 256 bytes of RAM) from the eight LEDs on the front panel
(driven from a TTL output port). Maybe DEC was really onto something
when they used incandescent lights for their PDP-8 front panels rather
than LEDs.

I'll be happy when all my programming tools and sound/MIDI programs work
under Linux. (All my 16-bit programming tools are from Borland, btw, and
they have no incentive to sabotage.)

Irritated aircrew members always knew when I was working with the lid off
of my 286-10.  TV sets in the three rooms surrounding mine would show
interesting moire patterns on Ch-5, and you could tell the activity of the
processor by watching the patterns.  Graphics-based games drew the most
complaints, followed by long 'makes'...

As the person who achieved these results I now wish to add to them

Sma e machine (New motherboard)

AMD486DX40      8Mb     256k Cache      51 sec.
OS/2 2.1
gcc -O2 -o bench.cc bench.exe
CPU load 43%, Active task count 13


Then for a bit of excitment
AMD486DX40+10 (ie overclocked to 50, with a heatsink and fan)
AMD486DX50      8 Mb    256k Cache      41 sec (Linear aye)
OS/2 2.1
gcc -O2 -o bench.cc bench.exe
CPU load 32%, Active task count 13

Tonight I will recompile with 486 optmisations on and see if there is any
difference (Note this means I didn't have them before)

I get the most interference from my machine when it is doing
it's power up memory check.  this makes me think that it is
the bus that is putting out most of the noise.

Now all I have to do is play music on the radio using
the interfernece. this could be done in the old days
(when real programmers programmed real computers by
entering machine code on the console)

I just bought a used computer, that's got a CD-ROM attached to my 
soundblaster.  I used DOS to get make a slackware boot disk from the Morse 
CD, then found I couldn't mount the CD, so I copied the A disks to the DOS 
partition, and let Slackware install the minimum stuff from the DOS partition 
onto the Linux partition.  Now I've recompiled the kernal to support CD-ROM, 
but I still can't figure out how to mount the CD.  Can anybody out there tell 
me the mount command (or the /dev/) for this combination.  I tried
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom - which obviously didn't work because 
/dev/sr0 is for SCSI.  I tried /dev/mcd0, and that didn't work either.

I am a Fortran programmer and I am not very familiar with C, but
it seems to me that there is nothing to prevent an optimizer
from wiping away all the computations, after having recognized
that no use is made of the results.  If I were designing this
benchmark, I would have _at least_ printed the value of a
certain y[i] at the end, with i defined (and computed!) as a
random number between 0 and 999999.  

My experience with Fortran compilers is that many
of them happily omit to perform "unuseful" computations, and I
design all my benchmarks accordingly.  Returning the results
as subroutine arguments to a caller (which may ignore them) is
usually a good enough trick to ensure that computations are
really carried out, with the current generation of compilers.

        When the original post is read in context, you may notice I meant
        no slander to anyone that is ten or younger or anyones mother.

        In fact I have had a number of "female elders" as supervisors and 
        instructors, and they have been just as compentent as a "young male"
        if that's what you think I am portraying as the "best".  But what
        the remark about the "mothers" meant that the mothers (and fathers 
        and single people that are 'older' (whatever that means) selected from
        the public at large (which is what we are talking about here) are 
        in fact (whether you like it or not) less computer literate than
        the people in the 15-35 age group, sorry it's a fact.

        And also a fact that I have a 10-year old niece and she can easily
        use a computer and do DOS commands and other stuff.  But the point
        is I just don't see her sitting down with 50 or so floppies,
        and start backing up her drive, repartitioning her disk, installing
        Linux, configuring Xwindows, modifying her csh.cshrc, etc. etc.

        I think what has already been said that the 'usual user' of Linux
        is a technical type holds true.  Installing Linux and administering
        it is not for the faint at heart.

        'nuff said.  I don't mind feedback, but flames will be ignored
        (as the above exerpted note almost was) only because I live in
        a professional environment, and we are talking in a professional
        news conference.

Date: 15 Dec 93 03:41:42 GMT


I'm fairly new to Linux, and I'm having problems trying to make
my Panasonic KXP-4420 laser printer work.  The printer is compatible
with the HP Laserjet II, and has always worked fine from DOS and Windows
programs using the HPLJII drivers.  I've tried using the printcap for
the Laserjet with no success.  If anyone has any suggestions I'd be
grateful to hear them.

BTW, if it matters, I'm running on a Gateway 2000 486 DX/2-66.

Please e-mail responses to gregn@cc.gatech.edu.

Thanks,
Greg

Unfortunately you can. The BOOTLIN program is a DOS executable that boots
linux.

Subject: Slackware Seyon faults with sig 11
Date: 15 Dec 1993 04:02:46 GMT

Gday,

I am having trouble getting seyon to dial anything. Everytime I click on the
dial button, the seyon complains of sig fault 11 and says it's exiting when
I press any button. Any idea? I have Slackware 1.1(or the latest one on ftp.
cdrom.com) and seyon 2.14b. I thought there might be something wrong with the
binary or something so I went off to compile 2.12(which I know works okay
with older version of linux I had..which I had gotten rid of a while ago-I 
reinstalled linux after two months absence from linux community ;-> ) but 
that gave me the same error. 
Is seyon not compatible with Xfree 2.0 or something??

Okay, thanks a lot for any help....

Jae
