Using scsi board with MS-6580 / 845PE Max

I'm trying to get an adaptec 2940U2W scsi board to install in my comp.
The comp hangs on the dialogue:
"Initialising Intel(R) Boot agent version 4.0.22 PXE 2.1 build 083 (wfm 2.0)
If I try and use Ctrl S it takes me to a very corrupted AMI set up page where nothing is visible
Any suggestions?

Initialising Intel(R) Boot agent version 4.0.22 PXE 2.1 build 083 (wfm 2.0)
Looks like you've got your PC triggered to boot from the LAN. What you need to do is to go into your BIOS, change your boot sequence accordingly so that you can avoid/reach to boot from your Adapter SCSI drive AND your LAN, depends on what you need. Remove them from the boot sequence and disable any related boot device configs in the BIOS.

MS-6580 (845PE Max VER 2.0) not POSTING with 2GB of DRAM -- POST with only 1GB

Ok I am currently fixing a client's PC, he wanted a RAM upgrade from 1GB to 2GB. I purchased a Komputerbay 2GB (2 X 1GB) DDR DIMM (184 PIN) 333Mhz DDR333 PC2700 kit, it was the cheapest I could find. The problem is, the system will not POST with the two 2GB modules installed, only with 1GB on either DIMM slot. I've tested them both RAM modules, and they work. Before, the PC had 2x 512MB DRAM installed, and it was working, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the DIMM slots.
When I start the system, I get two paused beeps, and some weird noise, not sure what is.
I've read the motherboard manual, and it says the maximum support is 2GB DDR 333mhz.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Does it post with only one 2GB dimm installed?
I don't believe the board/chipset will support 4GB(2x2GB).

I don't know where you're getting 4GB, I never said anything about 4GB - I must have made a type but what I mean was: The motherboard wouldn't post with two 1GB modules (2GB) as specified to be the maximum according to the manual. It would only post with 1GB(1x1GB or 2x512MB) or 1.5GB(1x1GB + 1x512MB) of RAM.
No worries, the problem is resolved now.

Using SCSI peripheral with PowerBook G4

I have been using an Epson Expression 636 scanner with a G3Blue and White, connecting with a SCSI cable. Now I want to use the scanner with my PowerBook G4 and I don't know how to connect the SCSI output from the scanner to my G4 which has usb and firewire input ports. Is there a special cable connection? Does it need software to format the signal properly? I don't seem to know where to get the information. Epson? Apple? a cable manufacturer? It doesn't seem right to discard an excellent working scanner just because I don't know how to connect it properly. Please let me know if you've had this problem and solved it.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You can find a similarly priced scanner to the adapter necessary to add SCSI to your machine, and it will run faster than with such an adapter.
I'd sell the old scanner and get a USB or Firewire scanner.

845PE Max won't detect X800 AIW

I'm having an issue with my old 845PE Max mobo. I've had the Radeon X800 All-In-Wonder work before on this mobo, but after a recent format the card just won't budge! The mobo detected the card as a plug & play gfx card and everything went smooth, but after the recent format things didn't go as smooth.
When I boot the computer with the Rad now, XP doesn't detect it as a plug & play card and the annoying vgasave is initiated. I've read and tried several fixes. Installed the newest INF update with the MSI Update Tool (which didn't do the trick), tried the INF update from Intel and finally booting XP by hitting F8 and running VGA Mode, none of which worked.
What I don't get is why the card worked fine before the format, but not after?!
Probably time for me to get out from under my rock and get a new rig, but I'm not willing to give up on this one quite yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Fischer
PS: Before you ask, I've got SP2, Framework 2.0 and the whole nine yards in XP updates.

Thanks for the input. I'll try, but if it doesn't work I'll just plug in a dated Nvidia card and pass the rig on. I'm crawling out under the rock and getting a new mobo+chip+ram+pci express gfx, and design a new rig. :D
To reflect on this mobo: I've had this mobo since it came out, quite a few years ago, together with some cheap 512 sticks and a Intel P4 2.4 Ghz which I've been able to squeeze 3.1 Ghz out of with a later dual rad watercooling solution, and it's been running like this for years without a glitch. So, I think it's safe to say that I got more then my moneys worth. Salute!
Thanks for the help, both of you.

G3Ti200 Pro-TD compatibility with 845PE Max 2

I have a MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD MS-8851 geforce 3 graphics card and a MSI 845PE Max 2 MS 6704 Mainboard. There is a sticker over the AGP port on the board which says I can only use AGP 1.5v 4x cards in the slot and If I dont I can seriously damage the mainboard. Will my card be compatible with the board?. Thanks

it will be fine
any modern gf cards fine,older tnt2 can be gpx4 but not all are

845PE Max-L problem with pci cards

Got a weird issue with the 845PE Max-L and was wondering if anyone else has come across this. I work in the RMA dept of a nationwide computer wholesaler and recently we've come across atleast 4 of these boards with the same problem. under windows xp it will not detect any pci cards. tried various sticks of ram, video cards, network cards, modems, usb cards, hard drives, pretty much anything we can think of to check for incompatiblities. did the latest bios flash, installed the newest updates in windows xp, but still cant get these boards to detect any pci cards whatsoever. yes we tried different power supplies and yes we tested the pci cards in other systems to make sure none of it was defective, all passed with flying colors. now here's the kicker, under windows 2000 it DID detect the pci cards, however i was unable to successfully load any drivers to any of the devices. We've made a call to our MSI rep to find out if anyone else has run into this or are we just dealing with a bad batch. unfortunatly noone from MSI has contacted us back yet so i decided to try and post here to see if anyone else has come across this odd situation. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Weaksauce;
Two replies two separate motherboards. In reference to the 865 / 875 motherboards not recognizing PCI cards I think your link has something to offer. :biggthumbsup:I'm not going to go back and test it but the reason the PCI cards were not recognized may very well be that the old bios did not properly inspire the intel inf utility to install the correct drivers. The force method you suggest may well overcome that particular problem. I would still suggest that merely doing the BIOS upgrade first is the more elegant approach.
Regarding the usb problem with MS update, the inf chipset article would appear to have little to offer. The 845 MB uses the Intel 845 chipset which is ICH4 by the way. The updated inf utility was installed in as early in the process as possible.

How do I use AT-A2150 board with LV 5.1 ?

Hi,
I'm trying to find a way of using my old AT-A2150 board with labview 5.1.
I followed some posting tips from NI knowledgeBase (1JACI8U3 and 1JO8TB2O
) and installed NI-DAQ 4.9.
The only problem is that now I'm getting broken arrows on my DAQ VIs. My
platform is Windows NT 4.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Eric

Use a Mini DisplayPort adapter for that monitor type.

I used migration to send photos form my Mac Book to my I Mac now i get an error message "iPhoto can not be opened because of a problem" Check with the developer to make sure iPhoto works with this version of Max OSX. You may need to install any available updates or reinstall IPhoto.
I tried installing Iphoto it said it was downloaded successfully. I still get the error messafe, and can not open any photos of program, any suggestions?

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?
Does the message only refer to "a problem" or does it specify what it is?

How to use 2 1409 boards with sony xc55 to acquire 2 images simutaneously

We want to use two 1409 boards with two sony xc55 cameras to acquire two images simutaneously. From the attached files, you will find what I have done and the problems. I just followed the example program from you. But it doesn't work well. Could you help me? thank you very much.

Kobel,
Both cameras are being triggered at the same time, and both boards are aquiering the image at the same time. The problem you are seeing is related to copying the correct image.
The IMAQ driver is not currently multithreaded, therefore your second copy opperation can not execute until your first one is done. The trouble is that you have the immediate terminal set to false which forces the copy to wait for the next available image before returning.
Since the second copy does not execute until the first one is complete, it will consider the frame that just passed as old and wait for the next available frame.
The quick solution is to change the immediate terminal to true on both copies. The best solution depends on your entie application. You may want to re
ad this application note on Ring Aquisitions for ideas.

845PE Max (6580 v.2.0) and Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus - Problem!

Hi!
My mobo (845PE Max - MS 6580 v.2.0) detecting my hard disk (Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus 80GB ATA133 7200rpm) as the drive working in UltraDMA/2 mode (ATA33). What is wrong? How can I set it to work in mode UltraDMA/5 (ATA100)???
Please, help me as quick as possible.
Best regards
Martin "Kenickie"

System: MS Windows XP Pro. No Service Pack 1 installed yet.
But it doesn't matter.
Disk is recognized as UDMA/2 by BIOS!!! I upgraded BIOS to newest (3.40) but it didn't help.
This Maxtor is connected as Primary Master, and there is a CD-Recorder (TEAC CD-W516EB) on the same cable as Primary Slave. Teac is also recognized as UDMA/2. At the secondary Controller I have CD-ROM Drive (TEAC x32).

Using Mac Mini With a sound board.

My classes use a Mac mini to do all of the editing for our schools video announcements. We also have a nice big sound board donated to us by a church to use for our sound applications. We would like to be able to use the sound board and the Mac mini together to record (garage band) our audio to then later add it to the announcements. The problem I am having is the sound from the sound board into garage band is extremely quiet to no existent. I am coming out of the sound board with 1/4" and adapting down to the 1/8" audio input on the back of the MAC. What do i need to do to make this work? I have already fried the sound card once.

The audio entering the Mac needs to be Line Level audio, it must be amplified. Those skinny little PC mics do not work either by themselves. You might get a USB external soundcard. One very popular device is the iMic.

Using PNG format with max width without clipping top and bottom of image?

I am using PNG format to preserve the transparency and drop shadow I am trying to incorporate to give the illusion that this slab object is floating above the other layers. I first tried file>place to position the menu object on edge of header/beginning of content. Doing that leaves no options to force the image to span the width of whatever screen. I need that so I've tried using object>fill> and then clicking the max width of the rectangle (which does solve the max width problem), but I am now dealing with a clipping problem of the top and bottom of the image. The next thing I can think of is to go back to Photoshop and distort the image so it isn't as tall. I feel there has to be a simpler way to accomplish this that won't also give my image a unnatural look. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that helps. I also found that I cropped to much of the canvas. After increasing the canvas area AND setting to fill all is well now. I think your suggestion may help with the scrolling affect problem I'm having when using different resolutions. I am going to try to set the size in one dimension (height) so that different resolution screens see the same scroll actions. Thanks Mylenium!

How to calculate SNR and BER using USRP 2920 with LFTX and LFRX daugher boards.

I have few questions regarding SNR and BER measurement:
I am using two USRP 2920 with daughter boards LFTX and LFRX. One is completely Tx and anothe one is completely Rx. I have following few questions:
Q1: How to control/change Energy per bit (Eb) in LabView? Since for calculating BER you have to increase SNR, and for increasing SNR you have to increase Eb. So can anybody guide me how to increase Eb in LabView?
Q2: Can any body tell me about the noise floor of the above mentioned daughter boards?
Q3: How to set the transmit power of the USRP in LabView? What is the maximum power the above mentioned daughter boards can provide and How should I adjust the "Gain" parameter to transmit the signal with the maximun power?
Thanks
JK

Hi JK,
The energy per bit calculation, as I understand it, is the ratio of the signal power to the bit rate. This means that to increase it, you have to either increase the overall power you are transmitting or decrease the user bit rate. In LabVIEW, you would do this by increasing the gain or by decreasing the IQ rate.
I'm not sure of the noise floor on those boards, but I did have a question. The USRP 2920 is sold in a particular configuration. Did you take it apart and put in the LFTX and LFRX boards? Or is it an Ettus board with these daughterboards attached?
