I don't understand this.  These things are little receivers you plug
into a USB port and the mouse has 2 batteries in it (either AA or AAA).
The ranges vary from 3 feet to 3 meters.

Prices range from ~ $US 8 to ~ $ US 70  !  I'm willing to spend
up to about $20 on a mouse, but I'd like to know that I'm getting
something that will still be working after two years or so.

Thanks,

Arnold

I -think- what Boyd meant was that "Thou shalt beware of USB power."
You're _supposed_ to have +5V, but many hubs are just plain crap.
I've seen USB on the mainboard that was crap.
But yes, the mice have autonomous power.

i know that.  i used to fight with one a lot [corporate policy] because
a) it needed batteries and b) the choice of NiMh [1.2V] rechargables
was made.  i really don't like things that run on batteries when you
have other choices.

i didn't mean that and now i've learnt another thing i _really_ didn't
want to know.  can't they get _anything_ right?

[9fans] Translating Plan 9 docs to spanish

[Antonio Vazquez Araujo]

Hello all.
I am translating the docs to spanish.
By the moment, I have finalized with:

"Plan 9 from Bell Labs"
"The Use of Name Spaces in Plan 9"

1- Looking for anybody interested giving some help.
2- I have a problem with troff: work is in utf-8, but accents dont work.
3- There is any place in the system to put the docs for revision?

THANKS.

Happy new year 2009.

Antonio.

which one is that?  my new `tetra hub' seems to be working for testing
purposes, but i've found a few problems elsewhere.
i'm reading up on OHCI before i get stuck in.
or given past history with USB, just stuck.
still, it should be more fun in my spare time than WS-Rubbish or

You object to a USB powered rechargable toothbrush?  Or the USB 
"personal massager"?

*sigh* I've got two memory stick things, a T21 with one USB port, and a 
USB hub that can be powered or unpowered.  One of the memory sticks only 
works if the hub is powered, the other only works if it is unpowered. 
Either works if plugged directly into the T21.

Plan9 reference?  I can't seem to get either of them to work with plan9.

That's an amazing USB hub.  Are you sure it isn't a toothbrush?
Maybe you need to reboot a couple of times or floss.

>>You object to a USB powered rechargable toothbrush?  Or the USB

had more interesting devices been available at the time (other than
mouse and keyboard, a non-standard hub, and a completely non-standard videocam)
i still claim i'd have done a better job.  indeed, owing to the lack
of interesting devices, i was forced to acquire a standalone
personal massager.  recently, however (all right, over christmas),
i discovered that amusing gadget supply had much improved (and i gave several as gifts)
so i've now got an incentive to fix up the old crud i left behind.
i'm replacing it by new crud.

Wasn't USB a committee design?  Think OSI/X.400/X.500: design it all
on paper first and by committee, without any feedback from reality.

Thanks for you revision interest. I will put the docs in some place in 
the system the next week, I think. If not, I will send you the drafts.

With troff, I have a problem: I write in utf-8, but the accents dont 
work. I think the problem is a troff macro called s. There is in it some 
  lines refering to accents.

There already was a perfectly good "Universal" connector and protocol
standard, called RJ45 and "ethernet", and power-over-ethernet was
just about to solve the power problem. There was even some software
support existing for this standard. OK maybe it wasn't ideal for the
purpose, but surely (given the frequency with which these things are
changed for no very good reason) it couldn't have been too hard to
'fix' it.

I believe POE can supply more power to devices than USB too.

Just think how many programmers wouldn't have had to spend time
writing all the new protocols! Just think of all the other things
they could have done with that time... On second thoughts, perhaps
USB saved the world! :-)


And another pet complaint of mine: given that we now have USB/USB2
(and/or ethernet), why, oh why do we need: Compact Flash, smartmedia,
MMC, SD, XD, memory stick (version 1 and 2), and probably half a
dozen other formats that have popped up since I was last looking?
About the only people this helps are the multi-format reader makers!
I know the arguments about consumer choice, but sometimes "the
competitive marketplace" is just c**p.

As none replies this...

usb/usbd
usb/usbsfs
if necessary
	disk/fdisk -p /n/ums/data
   	get something like:
		part dos 32 63936
dossrv -f /n/ums/data:32 usbdisk
mount -c /srv/usbdisk /n/d

I randomly tried two kinds of USB device, such as 32MB ClipDrive(Buffalo) and 
128MB DataStick (ADTEC, USB 2.0).   The former needs fdisk operation, and the
latter doen't.   For both, usbsfs command fail once, then, kill the failed
process, and re-dipatch the same command, then, it getts success.

USB 2.0 isn't supported is it?. Probably the strange behaviour of the second

i don't 2.0/1.0 is relevant.  (the things are barely intelligent for 1.x, let
alone things like split transactions for 2.0.) i've got quite a few storage devices to test now.
(many other things as well, but that's another matter.)
some advertise subclass 5, others subclass 6.  most of them are bulk-only.
some work provided Bulk Reset is not used.
some stall the reply to every `transparent scsi' command.
i'm trying to understand the devices that cause the last case,
because it's the most mysterious, since i can't see what we're doing wrong,
even by comparison with Linux source (as i work out how it's put together).

This can be corrected if you edit usb/storage/usbsfs.c and change
	if (SRrcapacity(ums, data) == -1)
to
	if (SRrcapacity(ums, data) == -1 && SRrcapacity(ums, data) == -1)

To make the new stricter compiler happy, you may also have to add these
two lines to the beginning of usb/storage/scsireq.h:

typedef struct UMS Ums;

It always has been c**p, at least since I watched IBM and Burroughs 
manipulate the perceptions of decision makers in the late sixties. It 
was easy then, because to nearly everyone who purchased hardware or 
software it was all pure magic.

They must work harder at it these days, because more people see through 
it. Specifically, of the three sets of buyers -- 1) those who see 
through it because they understand the technology, 2) those who see 
through it just because they've become familiar with how computers and 
their vendors work, and 3) those who are clueless -- huge numbers of 
people have gone from the third group to the second.

Before the age of Apache etc. it was pointless for knowledgeable people 
to try to get past the FUD factor, for instance with the message about 
POE and the resulting simplification of the infrastructure. Today it is 
different, people will listen.

Hi Richard,

I'm using this new version usbsfs.c.

After I saw many people are using usb storage without problem,
I rechecked my devices, and found I have no problem if I
use us/usbsfs command with -d option.   Yes, in this case,
the devices don't stall anymore, however, without this option,
those stall once.

Ah, thanks for that.  Looks like I've got myself some USB devices from
the wrong parts of the bell curve :-)

If this helps further on, I'm booting an IBM thinkpad T21 from
/386/9pcdisk (from sources).  Kernel reports
#U/usb0: uhci: port 0x1C20 irq 11

Following Kenji Okamoto's suggestions:

Using the "Swann MultiHUB" (4-port USB hub), powered from its plugback,
two USB memory sticks (but only one at a time was plugged in), there is
also a USB mouse plugged into the hub.

KeyA "JetFlash 1GB"
===================

A USB 2.0 device, I think its power requirements mean that it has to be
plugged into an external hub, the T21 cannot provide enough power
through the USB port.

Me too.

The 'usbsfs -d' output looks like a successful initialisation; I can't
see why there's no /n/ums at this point - unless perhaps you are trying
to look at it from a window with a different namespace?  Does the usbsfs
command exit and leave you with a shell prompt or do you have to interrupt it?

Possibly the SCSI Inquiry is failing because too much data is requested.
Could you try changing the ScsiReq definition in scsireq.h from

	uchar sense[MaxDirData];	/* returned sense data */
	uchar inquiry[MaxDirData];	/* returned inquiry data */

to

	uchar sense[18];	/* returned sense data */
	uchar inquiry[36];	/* returned inquiry data */

and see if that helps?
