Tecra 8000: Desk Station V + chipset/HDD on Debian Linux?

Hello!

I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 and a desk Station V, currently under Debian Linux.
The HARD drive I have in my docking station is functional, but very slow (and I know that's not the drive itself, it works very well in another computer). I can't seem to activate the DMA ("' HDIO_SET_DMA failed: operation not permitted", is it still possible for hard disks anchored? "), but it works with one internal.

The HD internal (had) gets pretty decent speeds, but externally (hde) works at a snail's pace:

Ulmo: / etc # hdparm-t/dev/hda
/ dev/hda:
Calendar of the disc in the buffer reads: 14 MB to 4.94 seconds = 2.83 MB / sec

Ulmo: / etc # hdparm t/dev/hde
/ dev/hde:
Calendar reads disc in the buffer: 2 MB in 3.92 seconds = 522,50 kB / sec

Any suggestions? A fact, anyone know if the Desk Station V requires any configuration of chipset/IDE controller or support?

Thanks for any help whatsoever.

Hello

As much as I know the Station V Plus office devoted additional features to Enhanced Port Replicator II as follows:
a PCI/ISA bus and a bus PCI expansion slots, a Bay 5 inches.
a selectable Bay and a built-in SCSI-2 (Small Computer System Interface) controller.
I also found information on the net that the Desk Station V plus supports also only the UDMA2.

Well, I think that the internal interface for laptop is a bit faster than the DSV.

  • Corrupt BIOS on Tecra 8000

    I have a Tecra 8000 flea market some time ago and Mepis Linux is installed. Everything worked fine until I gave it to my sister who spilled a cup of tea top.

    Allowed us to dry out, but now, although it seems to be 'living' I get the message "ready for the update of the BIOS. Please place BIOS update diskette in the drive snd press a key when you are ready to move forward. "when I turn on the monitor.

    I hope that this suggests I can restart the machine, if I install a new BIOS.
    However, there is no floppy drive on this computer in which you insert a floppy disk!

    I tried to download a BIOS upgrade and save it on a CD, but it is not recognized, probably because there is not BIOS.

    Does anyone have suggestions as to how I could try to get the machine working again?

    There is a floppy driver for Tecra 8000 with a special connector.
    You need a floppy drive!
    Check on ebay for it or try to contact your local Toshiba service. They may have this player.

    Hello!

    You can use a drive enclosure external DRIVE with USB port for this.
    The external HARD disk enclosure should be for 2.5 s HDD with IDE interface. All that s.

  • Tecra 8000, linux & ethernet & pnp

    Hello

    I am trying to install Linux on a Toshiba Tecra 8000. The problem is with a chipset Realtek ethernet PCMCIA card (module: 8139too), which is recognized, but the network is unusable. I always get an error of SIOCSFFLAGS and assigned interruption is 0, which means that it has failed. I have read many times that I have to disable plug-and-play, but there is no choice when I start with a floppy and run the TSETUP. EXE. Y at - it an alternative to this? Do you have any other clues?

    Thanks, Thomas

  • New Tecra A4 - 170 - slower than my old Tecra 8000

    Hey!

    Since yesterday, I have my NB again at home and so far, I'm happy with it!

    It has a processor M760, with 2 GHz, 100 GB HDD, FSB 533 and such - but it is slower than my old Tecra 8000 with PII and 366 MHz with only 8 GB of HARD drive.
    Y at - it a tip or something I should fix, or is it quite normal when there is now software for nearly 10 GB (nothing special, just the software more pre-installed desktop, antivirus and internet, no games) on this subject?

    Would be happy to help!

    HI Meike,

    Your new Tecra running the same OS as your old?

    I would be interested to know if slow is during the initial loading of the operating system or if it appears when you actually use the system.

    Hello

    I don't know but, I am very pessimistic, you have every chance of casting more than 8 GB HDD to your laptop because there are BIOS HARD disk size restrictions! If the latest version of the BIOS does not support the new HDD it appears impossible to run!

    Can you please send a link where is possible to read the specifications of this 40 GB HARD drive.

  • Tecra 8000 - connection of the hard disk

    Hello

    My old Tecra 8000 dropped last night after 4 years loyal service. She simply refuses to start to start most of the time. I think that this is a motherboard problem because sometimes it is starts on a diskette and remains stable for about 10 minutes. I know that the hard drive is fine as I can copy files on disk when booting from the floppy in DOS mode. Is there a way I can connect the HDD on a desktop PC so that I can recover the files which are there?

    Thanks for your help,

  • Tecra 8000 TV out when it is docked

    The docking station for the doen't Tecra8000 replicate the TVout connector, but I have a cable to right angle that matches the TV normal port when connected and allows the cable out the host unit. TV connector normally output is disabled when it is docked and is there a setting in the registry or something in 98SE to re - activate?

    I connect my Tecra to a TV to watch DivX movies on the big screen, with the audio goes to my stereo, but I need to use the device with the Replicator, because the server containing my video files on a network, so I need the capacity of the network. I COULD use a network adapter, but then that beats the purpose of a docking station with the LAN!

    Retro Hi

    I'm a bit confused. As much as I know some Tecra 8000 have no LAN card. If your camera has card LAN and LAN port why you n t plug it directly into the TV and LAN without Port Replicator?

    I'm not sure if the port is disabled, but you can test if you can 100%. If there is no success, you must use the PCMCIA network adapter.

  • Updating BIOS for Tecra 8000 without floppy

    I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
    is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

    I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

    Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.
    I'm sorry.

    Maybe stupid question now, but why do you need the BIOS update?

  • Tecra 8000 - failure to CD-ROM - new installation disc?

    The CD-ROM drive in my Tecra 8000 has a defect. It attempts to load a CD-ROM, LED is flashing, it stops, and then the drive LED is lit.
    So I guess the drive is down.

    What kind of new CD-ROM is suitable for this laptop? Toshiba only original ones?

    Hello

    Wow, the Tecra 8000 series is really old. Do you use yet this laptop?
    It feels like the notebook would come from the stone age ;)

    However, I think that the CD/DVD drive supports * interface IDE but not all readers would be compatible due to master/slave/cable select settings

    It seems that the reader of DVD-ROM + Toshiba - SD-C2002 + would be compatible.
    Not sure if you'll be able to get this disc because of the age of the unit, but probably the authorized Toshiba maintainer in your country could provide some readers compatible optical disc

  • Tecra 8000 and broadband connection

    Hi all

    I recently asked to watch Tecra 8000 a friends (PII 233) and give it a bit of an update... Don't know why the most I've ever done, is to add a few small components in my PC at home!

    My question is - is this possible for a connection broadband to be put in place - I looked all over the laptop, but don't find nothing which would suggest it is possible.
    (Also what other improvements should be can) watching us.

    Sorry for the noobness, but any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Ben

    Wow this is really an oldie
    Broadband do you mean the LAN port?

    As far as I know that the Tecra 8000 was not equipped with LAN port.
    It s really amazing but it is a fact

    However, if you want to use LAN then I advise you to buy a PCMCIA (Cardbus 32-bit) LAN card that would be allows to connect the Tecra 8000 to LAN.

    See you soon

  • Tecra 8000 sees no PCMCIA network card

    I don't get my Belkin network card Wireless PCMCIA connected to my Tecra 8000.
    That's all new win 2000, including all updates and I don't know that the pcmcia slot is working very well.

    Try to change some settings in the BIOS.
    In the configuration box, you can set the configuration of device option to all devices.
    In addition, in the area PC card, you can try changing the compatible option CCIP or CardBus / 16-bit.

    Play with these settings and check if a this will allow the card.

    PS: Have you installed all the drivers that should be shipped with this card?

  • How to get to his work on W2k on Tecra 8000?

    Is it possible to get the sound to work on a Tecra 8000 using windows 2000 pro? I just upgraded from win 98 and the audio driver install the Yamaha opl3-sax, but there is no sound. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling different drivers, but none seems not to work.

    Hello

    I also recommend to check the Device Manager. If there is no yellow exclamation next to the sound card, so I would say that the audio driver has succeeded not installed and there must be something wrong with the audio settings.
    Have you checked the sound and audio devices in the control panel? You should check all the audio controller if they are defined at the top level.
    In addition, I would recommend controls the controller of volume on the side of the laptop. People sometimes forget to define. ;)
