For those of us who don't have the hardware, is there a "shipping fund" we could donate to? I wouldn't mind chipping in to help get the hardware where it's needed. On Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 5:29 AM, Tom Knienieder wrote: > I can send a Ross Hypersparc 100 or 125 Mhz if needed ... > > Am 17.07.2012

Re: Wireless USB Adapters For OpenBSD

2009-03-02 Thread Gerald Thornberry
I use a Zonet ZEW2500P, which has a Ralink RT2570 chipset (ural). It costs US$30 or less. Download and pkg_add the firmware mentioned in the man page and it just works. However, while the adapter itself is small (like flip-phone small) it requires a USB cable. It's not a stick like the thumb-si

I understand your perspective, zb, but there was a pile of charred remains beside the door you walked through. You just didn't know to look for it. :-) As a casual user, I mostly read what comes over the wire here and buy/install new releases. If you continue subscribing to this list you'll ofte

Re: Marginal boot CD #1 in OpenBSD 4.2 sets

I had this problem. There are two drives in the machine, so I just booted from a burned 42.iso CDR and put the factory pressed disc into drive 2. Worked fine. Don't bother sending a replacement CD to me. Keep the funds in the project! On 10/30/07, Chris Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We w

How about an external CDROM drive connected to a parallel port? Micro Solutions used to make one (called BackPack) that could connect via USB, PCCard, and Parallel Port. Once you loaded the drivers under Windows I'm pretty sure you could boot from it. On 10/11/07, Christopher Bianchi <[EMAIL PRO

Not worried. Actually I was just responding to post that declared "instead of complaining about it, you would have your gear already, like the rest of us". All pre-orders are not created equal. Now that the USPS actually has them in hand, I anticipate my discs tomorrow or Saturday. Gerald On

Not entirely true. I've been checking the USPS Track & Confirm website each day since October 2 when I got my tracking confirmation via email. Until today the USPS had no record of my shipment. Finally I have a response: "Your item was accepted at 4:31 PM on October 9, 2007 in SWEET GRASS, MT 59

I've been informed that I was talking out of my hat, as I suspected. KQEMU (QEMU accelerator) is a Linux kernel module and, therefore, not an option for the OpenBSD. I'll put my hat back on my head now. On 10/4/07, Jacob Yocom-Piatt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Gerald Thornbe

Re: qemu speed (was: wine question)

2007-10-04 Thread Gerald Thornberry
I've never used QEMU so I may be talking out my hat. Looking at the docs for it yesterday I remember seeing something about the QEMU accelerator. Is that an option here? "When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. A ho
