According to http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.5/README3.html, Voodoo Banshee and
Voodoo3 cards are supported.

Does Linux support AGP cards, or only PCI?

there called glare screens. A good one runs about 60 bucks. One of my best

I have a cheap AGP 8MB card in one of the machines at work. It works fine
with XF86. I have no idea what it is... Wait, yes I do. It's an ATI Virge
3D. Nice card. Works beautifully. And it was under $50.

It sounds a lot like my generic AGP card with a Trident 3Dimàge 975 chipset.

With the zip drive, it may be as simple as adding a single line to a
configuration file. Is it a parallel, SCSI, or ID
If setting up your zip is anything like setting up my scsi DAT drive, you might try
looking in /lib/modules/2.2.5-25/scsi (the modules dir for your current kernel,
6.0 is 2.2.5-15, yours might be different)
Then try to load modules to see which one works-
/sbin/modprobe aic7xxx <---that's
It is an early model parallel port drive.

OK, you need to add the following line to your /etc/conf.modules file:

If you have the ppa driver in your kernel, that should make it work after a

Okay for some reason this did not work. I have below listed the contents of

Don't know anything about the card, but I think it is supported by
the latest XFree 86. Check out:

I once heard that you need to activate SCSI emulation in the kernel (I
didn't see that in dmesg printout) to use the parallel port Zip drive. (I
have a SCSI Zip drive, so I didn't have to deal with this). Caitlyn, is
this is accurate or not?
Good luck, :^)

100 meters is typical range of UTP cables due to attenuation.

It's further confused by the fact that there's SCSI Support and then
there's SCSI "Emulation" Support. Judging from your dmesg, you've got the
SCSI Support currently compiled in. (I'm not sure if it's needed for this,

IIRC, the IEEE standard is max 100 meters (328 feet).
That is correct...if you need to go further than that, you can add another
segment, using either a bridge, a router or a hub.
