PCI bus

I would appreciate some advice and insights about a situation with a beige G3.
The box is a MT, with 9.2.2 and 10.3.x. However, the built-in ethernet port stopped working. To get it onto our LAN I installed an Asante 10/100 ethernet card in one of the slots. The other slots are used for a USB card and a FW card.
The ethernet card has been very very flakey. It will behave for a few hours and then my internet connection (via a router) will refuse to function - sometimes for hours, and sometimes until the system is booted down overnight. (I do not have another card that will work in 9 and 10.3.) I finally decided to remove the FW card, speculating there is either too big a power draw on the bus or even a conflict between the two cards. The FW ports are not being used.
After removing the extra card, I have been testing the internet connection. It has been stable for about 8 hours. But I want your collective wisdom, please.
What do you experts think? Is the problem really solved, or is that set up just lulling me into over-confidence, just waiting to fail when I am doing something really critical? This is more than an academic question. If I can trust it, the beige will be used for some important tasks in an office where I am a volunteer. If I cannot trust it, it will stay home.
And yes, the battery is brand new.
Thank you for your help.
Eustace.
p.s. For those of you who do not know, I am a Canadian. So do not be concerned about treating me, the way one of your tv people has described us, as "your ******** cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head".

This may be beside the point, but in the hopes that it is not, I want to share it with you.
I have been having trouble with Macs in a school environment with user accounts on a server, all running 10.3.9. The server is a beige G3 desktop installed with XPostFacto 3.1, and a SCSI RAID array. Everything worked fine for a weeks, but then some workstations could not log in and an obtuse error message came up. I found some suggestions on the Mac OS X Server forum, and they had two tracks. One was to make Directory Access work less hard. The second, and perhaps applicable in this case, was to make link startup easier and more reliable.
In System Preferences > Network > [your current interface] you get 5 choices. The rightmost one is Ethernet. Click it and Configure: Manually. Then pre-select the speed at which you know your switch will connect, and half/full duplex as appropriate. [If you like, you can also select Maximum packet size Custom = 1430. This is thought to provide room inside the maximum 1500-Byte packet for the extra overhead of using DHCP].
The reason for doing this is so that whenever you start or restart or your connection drops, you will select a speed much more quickly.
Also, check Network Utility. The first pane, "Info" (once you select your correct Ethernet Interface) shows transfer statistics, including data errors and collisions. Any non-trivial numbers of errors or collisions may mean a bad Ethernet card. An unusual connection speed (of 0 or anything unexpected) is also a problem, possibly a bad card. I have a "Made in China" no-name card that consistently produces either send errors or huge numbers of collisions even on my quiet home network. It is now in "the pile" with a red sticker and "Suspect" written on it.
Check About this Macintosh > More Info > Network
You should see sensible addresses for Router Address and DNS - DomainNameServer Address.
One last thought -- have you ruled out the possibility that the built-in port and your new card are both fine, but what you are connecting to (cables and switch ports) is not quite right?

PCI bus and memory ranges in Device Manager.

Hello,
I looked in device manager on my netbook that has no dedicated graphics card (so no dedicated VRAM) and uses shared system RAM as
it’s video buffer, the following memory ranges have been assigned to the on board card -
If I then change the view in device manager to ‘Resources by type’, Windows shows the following memory ranges to be on the PCI bus
Basically all the memory ranges that have been assigned to the card are shown to be also on the PCI bus. I would understand this with
a dedicated graphics card where data needs to be forwarded onto the PCI bus but I know my netbook is using system memory as the frame buffer which then I assume the card reads from there.
Do you know why these addresses are shown to be on the PCI bus, is it just because the card is a PCI device so it’s easier for Windows
just to display them as if they were on that bus, and anything written to these address will still go into system memory?
I know it’s a bit of a random question but I’ve been trying to find an answer online and can’t seem to find anything.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Hi,
For your question: Do you know why these addresses are shown to be on the PCI bus, is it just because the card is a PCI device so it’s easier
for Windows just to display them as if they were on that bus, and anything written to these address will still go into system memory?
Yes.
You can check the hardware memory usage via Resource Monitor.

Code 28 on PCI bus ACPI\SMO8800

Code 28 on PCI bus ACPI\SMO8800
Hi i have an unknown device in my device manager. in propertis it shows this message - "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" i cannot update the driver windows cannot find the driver. Under
the details tab property is: hardware Ids value ACPI\SMO8800 and *SMO8800.
I have found out that this is an accelerometer, a device that detects when your laptop may be
falling and instantly stops the hard disk so it isn’t damaged on impact.
The dell has a link to the driver on for the freefall sensor but it is not compatible with my xps or is it?
Will that driver update my (xps L702X windows 7 x64) unknown device?

I have the same problem!
My laptop is XPS L501X
The drivers " Dell-STM-Free-Fall-Sensor, Driver " are not compatible with my laptop!
There is a trojan??

What is the PCI bus performance of the 1422?

I'm currently using an IMAQ PCI-1422 to acquire images from a camera. The image size is 1280x1024 @ 8-bits a pixel. Currently the camera can only run freely at 20 fps. So this data rate is roughly 26 MB/s. The IMAQ card seems to be able to acquire these images at that rate. However, I need to be able to retrieve these images into system memory at the same rate. At this time, I've only managed to retrieve the images at around 12 fps which is about 16 MB/s. Is this all I can reasonably expect from this card? There is no other activity along the PCI bus except for perhaps minor updates to the video display.
I'm acquiring images using a Grab. I use a callback on the Buffer Done signal to trigger an acquisit
ion running in another thread. Actually, I'd prefer to the acquisition in the callback itself, but I am uncertain as to how the callback is implemented and what I can and can't do in a callback. Is there documentation somewhere that I'm missing?
Oh yeah. I'm using MSVC++ and Windows 98.
Thanks

I tried the example and removed the clipping the ROI to the size of the canvas and also took out the image plot to make sure we would get accurate times. I get the same frame rate with that example as I did with my own code (around 12 fps). Also, I neglected to mention that for my own code I placed calls to timers just before and just after the call to imgGrab, and the time difference is what you would expect: about .083 seconds (average) to retrieve one frame.
I know nothing about the internal structure of the PCI-1422, but considering that we are retrieving images from the same SDRAM memory that is being used to acquire images, are we seeing some sort of bus contention on the PCI-1422 itself? Also, the camera I'm using is an evaluation board, and I have access
to the schematics and should soon have access to the CPLD design. So I can verify the design of the camera itself. I'm glad to hear that you expect to be able to transfer at 45MB/sec. That probably means that there is something not quite right either in the camera interface or perhaps in the computer system being used. But if you have any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thanks for the response.

X-Fi XtremeGamer doesn't work, is pci bus the cau

Hello,
warning: lengthy post ahead
I've recently bought an X-Fi XtremeGamer and an old thinclient pc, with the idea of making a small, low-power mp3 player. The thin client has a VIA C3 533Mhz processor, 256Mb ram, and a single PCI slot (used for the X-Fi).
However, when I install the X-Fi and the drivers, it just doesn't seem to work: while it shows up in the device manager without any error indication, it doesn't produce any sound at all. The audio console behaviour is odd as well: changing modes causes it to completely freeze up, and I can't select any speaker configuration, even tough I have analog speakers connected to the green jack.
I'm running a fresh installation of Windows XP SP2, disabled the on-board audio and removed the drivers for the on-board audio. I've already tried cleaning and reinstalling the X-Fi drivers, but the result stays the same. Trying to change sound levels in microsoft's sound manager doesn't make a difference either. I've tested the sound card in another, 'regular' pc, and it works fine.
Because there's absolutly no documentation to be found for this thinclient, I can't determine the exact version of it's PCI bus. However, based on the keying, it appears to use 5V signalling. This shouldn't be a problem for the X-Fi, since it's keying indicates it can use both 5V and 3.3V pcI busses. However, I was able to determine that the PCI slot does *not* provide -2V, as it is supposed to. Could this be the cause of the X-Fi's malfunctioning?
Thanks

This is really a bad issue. I think unless you are in the warranty period please change it once again and more over please if possible perform the deleting task over there

Crackling while PCI-bus is stressed [Audigy 2

Hello
I have a Audigy 2 NZ soundcard. I recently bought a SATA-controller card and have connected a harddri've to said controller. When that disc is under heavy load, such as when transferring large amounts of data to my main harddri've, I experience crackling and hissing sounds while playing music (and presumably any other sound-related activity).
If the harddri've is not under heavy load everything works perfectly. I gather this has to do with the PCI-bus being stressed.
I realize there are plenty of posts on this forum discussing a crackling/hissing problem on the Audigy 2, however many of them seem to concern a general crackling problem, even while the system is not under any sort of stress whatsoever...
So, finally, my question is: is there anything to be done to eliminate this crackling?

Solfi wrote:
...if I'm not completely off about what these latencies does, shouldn't I be *decreasing* the latency of the soundcard, so that it's lower than the Raid-controller, thus giving it priority over the SATA-cards in my case?
And is there any way to quantify whether or not changing these settings arbitrarily has any optmising or detrimental effect?... Are any guides out there as to what values one should choose, or is it all a matter of try, try again?
Decreasing PCI latency means less CPU time.
Here is some information @ http://www.mark-knutson.com/t3/index.html
You can google more.
You can also prevent programs to set PCI Latency (set by the BIOS (PCI Latency timing setting)) using registry tweak.
- set all DisableProgPCILatency key values on registry into (HEX or DEC). (defaulted to 0).
- boot PC to BIOS
- set PCI latency timing value into 32 or 64 (BIOS) 'this become settings default (32 =
best overall performance)
- boot
When you BOOT # time after changes, your PC may freeze or start very slowly. If it
does, BOOT once into safe -mode (no changes needed ). I think this happens if your
graphics card is not accepting too low value.
Run PCI Latency tool and see, if there is some useful changes got.
If you need to adjust more, then use tool for it (This also allows increasing your sound
cards PCI latency, if you feel its too low).

PCI Bus unlocked on K9N4 SLI F

Hello people, I'm new at this forum. I'm from Argentina and I'm trying to find a solution to this issue.
When I raise the fsb bus the pci bus go up too. I have a sound blaster audigy on that bus and that's why I can't go further with my overclock :(
I get 220 fsb from bios and I get 36 mhz to the pci bus. Then I used clock-gen and here are the pictures.
I really need help here, I even try to find some "hidden" bios options by my self but I didn't found any :(
I didn't find on the bios nothing about pci/lock or pci/async. I also have the latest bios(v1.4).
I don't know what to do.
Thank you all in advance

How receive image from camera with PCI-bus

Hello all
Please help
me.
I have LV 7.1.1.
I wont
watch two and more images from cameras at the same time.
I have capture
card (PCI-bus) with 4 video-input.
What kind
of data must be transfered from this capture card to LV?
With respect
Aleksandr.

Hello Aleksandr
please provide more information, what type of video card do you have?
Have you configure the card so you can watch an image with MAX?
I suppose the card has the ability to capture more than one image at a time is that true?, however most of the cards that I know of, have several inputs but you can only display one image at a time, you can swith between them and capture and image from another input, to capture more than one unit at a time you would need to open/close sessions with the instrument/card such that you are switching from one input to another

Fire Wire PCI bus Info

Hi I am trying to add a Firewire bus via a PCI bus to my G5 Primarily to attach a Liquid Mix too. Focusrite tell me I need a Texas VIA or NEC chip set. Here in the UK I am finding it impossible to find a supplier that can tell me what chip set is in the card. Actually it is quite hard to find a card at all. Does any one know a manufacturer that uses one of these chip set. I don’t care where the maufacterer is bassed. Ta Joff

HT204384 What are GT/s?- "Computers that use the PCIe bus express their speed as GT/s"? and what else is the card slot used for?

If I understand correctly the card slot on the Macbook Pro is for flash memory? Can it be used for anything else?

Read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3553?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
for information on the card slot.
GT/s is gigatransfer per second. It takes into account the overhead of the PCIe bus.

Black screen on MacPro1,1: PCI bus failure?

I have a MacPro1,1 (the original 2006 model) running OS X 10.7.5. This machine has functioned reliably for 8 years. But last night the display went black (NEC PA-271W, driven by an Apple ATI Radeon 5770). My trouble-shooting tests so far:
Restart Mac Pro. Restart in Safe Boot mode. Restart in Single-User mode. Restart from a clone backup. Waited for hardware to cool down and tried again. No love. Screen never lights up.
Attached display to a MacBook Pro, using same cable and DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. Monitor works correctly.
I can run the Mac Pro via screen sharing from my MBP. So the system and hard disk seem to be OK.
I accessed the Mac Pro via screen sharing and read its System Report
About This Mac > More Info > System Report
What I saw was disturbing:
Graphics/Displays: No information found.
PCI Cards: This computer doesn't contain any PCI cards.
I tried re-seating the ATI Radion 5770, and tried inserting another card that I had on hand (Nvidia GeForce 8800GT) in a different slot. The info in System Report remained the same.
Does this look like a hardware failure? Power supply gone south? Is there any type of hardware diagnostic software that I can run on a headless Mac? I don't want to spend any significant money on repairing this old beast, since I was planning to replace it this year.

The Mac Pro lives on. It was the ATI Radeon 5700 video card that died. I pulled it out of the PCI slot, and then the Mac was able to see the other video card. So it looks like the Radeon had an internal failure (short circuit?) which was causing an abnormal current drain from the mother board. The Mac shut down the PCI bus to protect itself.

Agreed, seems like a PCI bus error.
Data flowing through SB4 didn't like something, so cpu11 barked out a complaint.
Perhaps it was something passing to or from your storage
or to and from the other partner pair.
Install Explorer, as per Public Infodoc 82329,
run it to gather a system configuration snapshot,
and then go open a support case with Sun.
At the very least, you'll find it was simply a result of a typo
in the modifications you were making to your configuration.
Best to let Sun Techsupport figure this out for you.

Pci bus issue with Windows 7 upgrade

I recently upgraded from Windows XP to WIndows 7, but I'm being shown that I am missing two drivers for base system devices. I did a little digging and have found that I'm specifically missing the PCI bus 13, device 0, function 2 driver and the PCI bus 13, device 0, function 3 driver. Could anyone help me out with this? I have updated all drivers that have needed it, but it didn't help. I have tried locating specific drivers on Lenovo and Intel's websites and had no luck. I've tried un-installing and re-installing the entire PCI bus, didn't work either. Bios has been updated as well.
The only other item that appears to not work is the blue light for the Lenovo care button on my keyboard. It did work with XP and I've gone thru all updates I can find for that as well.
I'm on an SL500 laptop if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Cheryl

check to see if your system has a multi-card reader, if so, then
download and install the Ricoh multi-card Win 7 driver.

PCIe bus to memory access timeout

We make telecom network interface cards to use with our middleware software product. The PCIe variant of this card (which uses a PLX 8311 bridge chip) is reporting a timeout while trying to access memory via the PCIe bus on an M9000 server. The chip is trying to read a DMA descriptor from PCIe memory and is not granted access within 33 mSec. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

you need to pose all your questions to either support or another technical area of Sun... this is a user-to-user forum.
