Subject:   AC'97 Sound and VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet

Hi all.  I've been persevering, but not with a great deal of success.

I've recently come by an MSI KM2M Combo Series motherboard and an AMD
Athlon XP2000+ processor.  I have most of it working except 2 things ...

1. Does anyone know of any drivers which will work with an AC'97 sound
card based on a Realtek ALC650 codec on a motherboard with a VIA KM266
chipset and a VIA VT8235 chipset?  I don't know what most of that means -
I've taken it from the motherboard handbook.  The best I can see so far
are drivers which will work with the Realtek ALC650 codec on a motherboard
with an Intel chipset.  These drivers cause a trap on my system.

2. The LAN card is a VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter.  I have it
working (sort of) with some VIA drivers I found via the Nicdetc.CMD
utility.  The book says I have, "VIA VT8235 integrated MAC + VIA 6103
PHY".  It only runs at 10 Mbits.

I'd really like to know if I can these 2 services working properly.

Thanx in advance

Kev,
I have a driver for the ACL650. From memory I
got it from the RealTek web site.

If you cant track it down let me know and I will
e-mail it to you off the list.

Kev,
If your NIC is a DLink DFE530-TX then I also have an
OS/2 driver for it.
Can't recall where I found that so let me know if
you want to give it a try and I will send it to you
off list.

As for the 10mb only problem I found the DFE530
does not auto negotiate well. Try forcing it to 100mb
in the protocol.ini file.

Hi Brian, thanx for your response.  I have just dnloaded the sound driver
- thanx!  As for the LAN driver I haven't seen "DLink" mentioned anywhere
in the m/b book so I assume that it is in fact a VIA LAN chipset. 
Whatever it is it's built into the m/b.

Thanx again

Kev,
The section you need to edit is at the end of the file.

[FETND_nif]

   DriverName = FETND$
   CONNECTIONTYPE = "AUTOSENSE"
   FLOW_CONTROL = "Hardware_Default"

The CONNECTIONTYPE parameter is the one
the sets link speed.

The following is from the notes with the D-Link driver
As I don't know whether your Ethernet is full duplex or not
I can only say try each of the 100mb options. Full duplex is
better if the rest of your Ethernet hardware is using it.

NOTE the leading underscore!

Save a backup copy of the original file before you tamper with it!

If you get it wrong OS/2 will still boot but it will give you errors
at startup about not loading the Ethernet driver if there is something
it does not like in the INI file.

Besides the Realtek driver for the ALC650, which has been known to have
problems with shared resources (IRQs), the UNIAUD driver will also work
with that chipset.  

Realtek ALC driver: 
<http://www.realtek dot com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?lineid=5&famid=12&series=8&Software=True>

UNIAUD: <http://os2.kiev.ua/> (Not sure of the exact URL as right now I
can't get to their web site, but its probably something like
http://os2.kiev.ua/en/uniaud.php )

I have an ALC201 which works OK with the latest UNIAUD driver, but not at
all with the Realtek.

I use a Canon FB620S with very good results and reliability with TAME.

As per usual technology is ever changing and I don't think this model is still

but the following models are current and I'm pretty sure we should be able to make
SANE/TAME work with them:

Subject:   VIA ethernet card

Help Please!!

As stated in an earlier message, I recently came by an MSI KM2M Combo
Series motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP2000+ processor.  I have most of it
working now except this ...

The LAN card (on the motherboard) is a VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter.
 I have it working (sort of) with some VIA drivers I found via the
Nicdetc.CMD utility.  The book says I have, "VIA VT8235 integrated MAC +
VIA 6103 PHY".  This is what the driver reports during boot up ...

    VIA PCI 10/100 Mb Fast Ethernet Adapter
    NDIS OS/2 Driver V3.18(04-12-2001)

    Flow Control is Hardware Default
            Interrupt = 0xB
            IOBase    = 0xB800
    Half Duplex, Linespeed = 10 Ethernet Address:
                        000C766B1D31 Slot(HEX): 0

I suspect that it isn't running its best!  Brian Butler has responded with
some info to help me edit my PROTOCOL.INI, but I'm too ignorant to
understand exactly what he said.  I'm unable to relate his suggested edits
to my PROTOCOL.INI.  Below is my PROTOCOL.INI.  Btw, I *do* appreciate
your help Brian, but I'm just too dumb to grasp it.  I suspect that I
don't have a DLink card in disguise.

Subject:   eCS MT

Hope you gize can bear with me while I sort out a few things.  I've been
installing eCS1.1 (several times) in an attempt to get what I want.  I
have a barely acceptable install now, and have just installed eCS
Maintenance Tool (v 2.1.5.9) and I allowed it to install into its default
directory (E:\ecs\system\ECSMT200).  The same directory was set (by
default) as the download path and fix path.

I already have downloaded many of the fixes, including fixpak 4, which I
don't want to have to download again (I'm on dial-up), so I copied them
all to the download path.

My question is, how do I make ECS MT see the files which I already have,
so that I can apply the fixes?  (I do hate that ECS MT!  I just wasn't
made for normal people to use)

Thanx again gize

You have not stated the chipset nor the motherboard.  
If it is a SoundMax chipset then check out the SoundMax driver on hobbes.
Just search for SoundMax as one word.

If not then try the Uniaud drivers.

My P4 Asus P4c-800 is currently working fine with the hobbes
SoundMax driver.

You probably need a riser card and it is probably a WinModem.

Hi Kev,
Unfortunately, I didn't keep Brian's response to you, I thought that was 
now cleared up, but I guess you've still retained it.

Where you have the line :

CONNECTIONTYPE = "AUTOSENSE" above, at the end of protocol.ini

change this to read:

CONNECTIONTYPE = "_100??????"

i.e. the one without the "D" for duplex - Brian quoted the entries for 
10 & 100 mbps for full-duplex [the ones ending with a 'D'] and ditto for 
the half-duplex settings [without the D]. you have to force the system 
to recognise that it's a 100mbps connection by specifying the entry that 
starts with _100.  just do the edit [with e.exe] and then save the 
protocol.ini.

Hi Kev,
In your Browser, or newsreader if you have one, and get subscribed to 
the ecomstation.support.ecsmt NG and as many of the others like 
ecomstation.support.install as you like at < news.ecomstation.nl > or < 
news.ecomstation dot com >.  You'll find out what everyone else did in 
similar/identical circumstances.

Your very question about using stuff you've already downloaded came up 
on the ecomstation group Yahoo list in the past couple of days and Chuck 
McKinnis, the former IBM'er who developed eCSMT was the one replying.

To subscribe automatically, send an e-mail with subject of "subscribe" 
to < eComStation-usubscribe at yahoogroups dot com >, and you'll get the 
information on how to join up.  It's pretty painless, once you have a 
Yahoo ID, and that *doesn't* mean you'll get spammed.

Hi Voytek,

Get hold of PCI048VK.zip on hobbes or Ian's www.os2site dot com.  Run the 
pci.exe in it and it will pump out everything you need to know and 
more.  You'll need to pipe it out to a file.
