driver for the Belkin F5D5050
by PETER EASTHOPE 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Folk, If I am going to work on a driver for the Belkin USB-Ethernet adapter, the best place to start is probably AosUsbNetworkUSB200M.Mod Considering that the Linux driver is pegasus.c, the Aos driver should be AosUsbNetworkPegasus.Mod. Any objections to this name? (As I understand, pegasus is the name of the chip.) Thanks, ... Peter E. http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/

Hi Peter, although I did not try it for quite some time, I once had a similar problem. I wrote up what I did and made it available here: http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~bernhard/grub-oberon.html (especially the paragraph "Advanced Stuff" Apparently your BIOS swapped the drives when you told the BIOS to boot from the second drive. regards -- Bernhard Treutwein, IuK, Ref.

ETH & others, Your boot manager page contains no mention of BootMan. It works very well and deserves attention. This weekend I cloned the old Oberon system onto a second drive and want to use it for a few weeks before moving the drive to another machine. Grub has not started the system from the 2nd drive but the BIOS can be set to try that drive first. BootMan then starts the cloned Oberon with no difficulty. Regards, ...

Osdev.org discussions about The Oberon System

I recently added Project Oberon to the Books Section of OSDEv.org. Now there is a hefty discussion going on there about the tiled viewers, task bars etc ... Anyone who would like to jump in could do so here: http://www.osdev.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=105859 At least some new audience for Oberon :-) -- Bernhard Treutwein Bernhard.Treutwein(at)verwaltung uni-muenchen de (work) BdT(at)wildwein de (home)

Re: [Oberon] editors in Aos

The IDE is the Aos version of PET. (The source code is PET.Mod). Some things carry over like the ability to use macros, but they are defined now in XML. Both Notepad and PET use the WMEditors module. Notepad has wordwrap and PET does not. PET has search/replace, compile, error marking, find PC (find location of runtime errors in source), and a tree representation of the structure of XML files as well as Oberon source files. Search replace REALLY should be added to Notepad. You can open or save Oberon text files in either editor. Regards, John M.
