Hi, another option would be to beg, borrow (or buy and return within thirty days), an IP webcam.

@clusteruk

Those are good! I think part two would be great running as an unattended loop at the show, give you a chance to wander around yourself.

Hope to be there too.
Richard

I'd like to say how pleased I am, that since 3.22, when using OWB to access my networked HP all-in-one printer's webserver, scans are now saved as pdf's.

This adds a lot to OS4.1's functionality as my everyday machine.
Richard

@Dirk-B

Glad to hear you've got uses for it, and someone to pass it on to,
regards Richard.

Yes you are probably right, trouble is, I was'nt smiling when I wrote that post .

Apologies to coder for dragging this off topic, though his problems appear to have been solved with your suggestions.

As to the motherboard, (bought Nov. 02) mine also has the green wires, I believe there was an earlier "developer" version. Initially it was frustrating, Linux (Suse 7.3) kept crashing, did'nt know at the time that it was PIO modes causing data corruption. USB was also a problem causing system freezes and the Kingston ram (as supplied) was failing memory tests (more of that later).

An OS4.0 developer (I forget who) independently investigated the data corruption and suggested that DMA0 was "safe", and it has proven to be so for several years now. Throughout the various OS4.0 updates USB was still safest when disabled.

With friendly advice from those who are now known as Acube, the memory was replaced with a stick of ram from Crucial, but with the latest version of OS4.1 that original Kingston ram is back in there, alongside the Crucial (total 1Gb) and not causing trouble.

The USB problems were resolved earlier this year when Hypex (and friends), discovered that a non "VIA" USB pci card worked under OS4.1, (I had previously tried an "NEC" card under OS4.0 without success, that same card works under OS4.1).

So... here we are at the end of 2009, it's been a long journey, I could be described (by some) as a "retard fanboy". Back in 2002 I wanted to support the move to PPC, looked at my available free cash and assessing the risk, took the plunge! Yes! it's been more expensive than I thought and there were dissapointments along the way, but when has life been any different,
regards Richard.

@xenic

Hi, my apologies to you, I was trying to deal with my irritation at the negative quotes below by using humour, obviously it did not translate well. As I had said I have a fully functional G3SE, so... whilst it's true that there were problems, it's taken a while, but one by one they've been dealt with.

@Dirk-B

Well, there's no fun in that! I want to be negative, just like the others.

@thread
Can someone please help me, I seem to be doing something wrong, I have a fully functional, stable SE, with working usb, nothing "commented out".
What modifications do you suggest I make in order to fit in with all the negative remarks being made?

@abalaban

OK, sorry if I'm about to waste everybodys time, but something I've noticed whilst using the latest MPlayer to play an "mms" stream.

I just happened to have snoopy open and after closing MPlayer, this was left running, endlessly repeating...

00188 : pthread id 1 : o.k. = [exec] OpenDevice("timer.device",0,0x6A6884C0,0x00000000) = 0 [56uS]

It was'nt snoopy's window playing catch-up, because the "lines queued" count kept increasing, eventually after an hour or so the machine would come to a halt. I only mention this at it is "pthread" related
Richard.

@Raziel

Sorry about that, I still have the 4.0-4.5 update, as it's freeware/giftware I see no reason why I should'nt send it to you if you want.

PM me an Email add. if you do,
Richard

@Raziel

Hi, STFax 4.5 works (for me) on OS4.0, allthough I rarely use it, and i've not tried it on 4.1 yet.

I originally bought it and it's freeware now, with updates to 4.5 from:
http://www.haage-partner.de/amiga/products/stfax-support-e.htm
Oh and version 4.0 (freeware) is here:
http://aminet.net/package/comm/misc/STFax4

Hope this helps.
Richard

@tldaley

Hi, my version of lpr.device in envarc reads:
HOST 192.168.0.10 RAW note; no equals sign.

Hope this helps, Richard.

@abalaban

Hi, your link to your bank works for me, using OWB3.3 on a G3SE/OS4.0

What version of OWB are you using?

Richard.

@agafaster

Hi, maybe your router gives priority to setting up wifi connections, hence the delay, until a wifi connects or a timeout occurs. How does your Amiga get it's "address", DHCP or static ? whichever it is try the other way, can you get to the routers webserver to look for possible priority settings.
Regards Richard.

@A1200

This latest episode of creature comforts was so realistic, the character seemed almost human, and topical too!

Richard.

@joerg

Talking of OWB 2.8, I just connected to the webserver of my "all-in-one" and was able to receive scans which open in another window, then save them with SGrab, (mark&grab).

This is a definitive milestone for Amiga browsers, and once again, many thanks for your efforts.
Richard.

@salass00

Oh Good, glad that's sorted.
Regards Richard.

@Mikey_C

Hi, I've donated to Salass00 but Fredrik's paypal button shows "anders[at]mundanus.net" is this genuine or has his paypal button been hijacked?

Regards Richard.

Edit: seems it is genuine.

@joerg

Hi, I am pleased to find that Doduo displays the scan page from the webserver of my HP 2575 all-in-one. The preview button delivers an accurate mini pic, the scan button, throws a DSI, clicking ignore does'nt cause lockups and although the scan continues nothing arrives.

The cancel and reset buttons on the page allow it to back out of the situation, and it continues normally with other websites.

So.. tantalisingly close! Thanks for all the efforts being put into this.

Regards Richard


P.S. This was the relevant ouput from the shell I launched it from, at the point of clicking the scan button.
