Hello,
I have used NetBSD 0.9 for quite some time and am moving to 1.0. In
general this is not difficult but I have some questions and a single
problem. Perhaps somebody can help me.
The problem first:
------------------
I have a DECpc with a PS/2 compatible mouse. This is not recognized
anylonger. In 0.9 I got some patches for it. The kernel is rebuild with
an extra line:
device pms0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" irq 12
In 0.9 I used:
# Busmouses (lms0: Logitech, mms0: Microsoft, pms0: PS/2)
device pms0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 12 vector pmsintr
which worked. I also tried that line in 1.0 but in both situations
Xwindows start but the mouse is not recognized. Some help would be
nice!
The questions:
----------------
1) Is the new cheap Adaptec 1505 SCSI card supported?
2) I am doubting between buying a Mitsumi CD-ROM drive (because it is
supported and you don't need SCSI) or buying a cheap SCSI CD-ROM.
Good suggestions?
3) I have installed a lot of applications on 0.9. Instead of redoing all
this work I would prefer to have some ready-to-go packages. Which are
available and where?
Good luck with NetBSD. I like it very much.
