4871.0. "Install NT V4 on Hinote Ultra ?" by ULYSSE::LEFOL () Thu Mar 13 1997 10:39

    Has anyone already installed NT Workstation V4 on a Hinote Ultra ?
    Before starting that I would like to know if this hardware supports NT
    V4 and what sort of problems you may have encountered (drivers, etc).

4871.1Swapping may eat batteriesAZUR::HUREZConnectivity & Computing Services @VBE. DTN 828-5159Thu Mar 13 1997 11:1410
    
    If you're using the Hinote often on its own power, then you may get
    into autonomy problems, as WNT swaps processes a lot, thus soliciting
    the disk quite often...  Make sure you have a large RAM to lower somehow
    disk usage!
    
    I'm not sure one can disable swapping; in the affirmative, it might be
    an interesting alternative (still provided that you have enough memory).

    Also watch for the DEPCM (if you have that card), only recently has a
    driver been announced for it...

    Thanks for the information.
    I have indeed a DEPCM card and I will have to find this driver. Do you
    have a pointer ?

    Check NOTED::ETHERWORKS note 1214.* for the gory details - there is
    still an issue with rev levels, I believe. You'll find several pointers
    to the actual kit there too.

4871.5Now the resultULYSSE::LEFOLThu Mar 27 1997 08:446
    I tried to upgrade to NT V4. The result is that the DEPCM PCMCIA 
    does not work. The Xircom PS2 works. 
    
    There is no available driver on NT V4 for the
    Hinote screen which means that it uses the standard driver which does
    not allow more than 16 colors. Despite these issues it works.

The Hinote Ultra II certainly works at >16 colours.

    Which rev level is the card? - did you use the latest drivers kit from
    NOTED::ETHERWORKS?
