I have an amd athelon k8 northbridge processor dual core machine with 1,000MB of memory on it and a litetalk synthesizer attached to its only serial port and keying in boot parameters almost as soon as starting the machine also fails on this hardware. I can't do anything with slackware on the laptops I have since if those have serial ports, those ports have 9 holes rather than 9 pins and the litetalk synthesizers do not come with dual serial plugs one with holes and the other with pins and I don't have the necessary cable to bend the gender. When I moved out of Maryland I left too much technology there by other people's choices and where I'm at now I may be able to shop for technology once in a five year period of time. Slackware needs to start emulating debian by making a boot beep happen at the boot prompt on their installation disks otherwise whatever other hardware I get in the future makes no sense to even consider that distribution. The company is either unwilling or incapable of getting their subscription shipping problem straightened out too. jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Twitter: @jdashiel _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
