Re: FreeBSD > 4.11 hardware issue with Asus PSCH-SR/SATA mobo

After replacing jpd with a small shell script on Thursday 15 Jun 2006
16:12, the following appeared on stdout:

<ObNitPick> Actually, the latter are ment to interconnect peecees by
blatantly abusing their parallel ports. </> I did find a conspiciously
yellow DB25M<->DB25M cable, still sealed in grubby plastic, in a grab
box somewhere, took it home, and lo and behold, I could run PLIP over
it. Runs at a fairly nice 40kByte/sec, even if it does eat cpu like
there's no tomorrow.

Dammit, yes, I remember those things. Now that you mention it, it
probably was parallel and yellow the last time I saw a "laplink" cable.

I also have a null modem cable with both a DB25F and a DB9F on both
ends, which neatly covers all eventualities - except <insert expletive
here> Cisco switches...
